Port Locations are not all the same...

I was wondering if anyone has their port just below their breast bone in the center of their lower chest and upper abdominals? I saw a picture of someone elses port and it was toward the side of their middle abdominal area - kind of made me wonder why mine was where it was. Im not worried but just wondering.

Thanks...:smile2:

Good morning, I have mine there, right under my breast bone. Everyone doesn't have them in the same place. It's ok..

Mine is about 3-4" above my belly button in the center. I was expecting it to be more upper mid section toward the side like in the diagrams, etc.

Hi:

Mine is right where yours is and I've had it for 2 years. I'm glad it is there because I never have clothing bothering it.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

Mine is off to the left, under my rib cage.

Thank you all so much for your reply, I apologize for taking so long to reply back... Does port location have anything to do with it flipping - I will be working out a lot and in particular I am concerned with doing abs (when its time of course)...

Mine's a little left of center, and a good couple inches under my left breast....great spot! I never feel it! :laugh:

I just had surgery on the 16th and I know my port is still meshing - I think it will be a good spot too - once it heals...
