Port Placement

[coffeecup123 0]

Just wondering where people have their ports. Mine has apparently moved up a bit and is only very slightly below my breasts and in the centre. Isnt this an odd place. Ive found myself worrying that it could somehow affect my heart (it just seems awefully close to it) although I have also been known to be a worry wart with a vivid imagination.....

My port is in the same place, over the solar plexus. My surgeon only uses that spot. When he does revisions of ports placed by other surgeons, he uses the same spot. He said it will not be irritated by clothing, is harder to see there after significant weight loss and would not be harmed even if someone punched you in the stomach.

Hi:

My port is the same place as yours. I've had my band 2 1/2 years now. I'm very happy with the placement of my port because it's never in the way and unless I touch it I don't know it's there because it's nice and flat there.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

I just had a band replacement (had mine since 2003) went from 200 to 135. My port on my tummy stuck out and was an eye sore in a two piece (I hated it!!!) My new dr replaced band and port with low profile in the breast part. I LOVE IT!!!!! I can tell you from having it in the usual place sticking out like a "button" I am thrilled now. Being screened at the airport and having them look at my belly funny was no fun either :thumbup:
