Which side is your port on? Choice?

Does everyone's port go on the same side? Which? Or do you have a choice-or maybe it's Dr's. preference? I'm asking because I HAVE to sleep on my right side (problems with both my left shoulder and my left side) and I have enough trouble getting to sleep without something else (seems like many can feel theirs). Just curious!:)

***UPDATE***

I found out at my AGH seminar yesterday that surgeons have the ability to put it ANYWHERE in your abdomen (and they use both types of bands)! A man, who has to wear a harness a lot as he works construction, asked the question before I could. Apparently the harness covers most of his abdomen. Dr. Uchal explained "Don't worry about it, we'll find a place around it...do you want it in your neck?"...ha ha!

I've since read that a lot of people do avoid where most of their pants/belt hit so it won't be uncomfortable. Do you think I could mark an "X" on my belly before surgery? I'll check ;-)

Hopefully it will have protection against interference :Dancing_sorry: Open the garage door, or change the channel and your restricted.

OhBill!:Dancing_wub::) I thought a man would like another remote?

BTW- Just started a poll on General LB Forum...Where would you move your port? I'm hoping others can decide where to mark my "X"!!
