my understanding is that our stomach's and our bands are on the left and our ports are slightly to the right of out belly buttons,,i wouldnt stress too much tho, cuz until all the swelling goes down properly things will be pushed to the surface ,, and things that should be hard will be,, i freaked out a week post op cuz the whole right side of my belly was sort hard to touch and i freaked out thinking i had internal bruising or something,, but nope jumped on here and was told that its normal,, its just the swelling and your body adjusting,, -
