Where is your port??

I keep reading about people's ports being on the right or left side, but mine is smack dab in the middle, between my ribs. Does anyone else have theirs in the middle? :redface:

mine is also smack dab in the middle, an inch or so right under the breast bone.

Mine is to the right a little, between my belly button and my right nipple. If you draw a line between BB and nipple it is 1/3 to BB and 2/3 to nipple.

Are you sure that's where the actual port is and not just the port incision? Mine is about 3 inches under my port incision.

Mine is in the middleish, to the left. If you go straight up about 3 inches from my bellybutton, and then straight left 3 inches, it's right there.

Mine is to the immediate right of my belly button.

I asked on my first post op visit, I was told it was right under my incision, she pushed down on it and found it.
