is the port where the largest incision is? I'm not sure where mine is but I'm definitely more sore at the large incision.

Mine is above and slightly to the left of my belly button. When I stand up it feels like a tumor on my stomach.

Might be because it is healthier to sleep on the right side? I know I know it is silly reason to place port slightly to the left... and there might be a good medical reason to do i it ... maybe something to do with the internal organs 'layout'?

Mine is 1" to the right (when looking at my belly head on) - so on my left side, and 2" down from my navel. Basically at the 4 o'clock position were my navel a clock.
