Where is your port??

[Mary H. 0]

I just found out today at my post op appointment that my port is by my belly button.....i thought it was supposed to be by my side.....anyone else like this?

My port is located on the right side between my belly button and side. Right in the middle. Out of the way!!

Mine is to the right, out of the way I think it depends on your MD's preference.

Mine is in the center of my stomach halfway between my belly button and my sternum.

Mine is a tad bit higher than the center of my torso....centered about 1"-2" below my sternum depending on my position. The location has worked out well for me.

Mine is 2 inches to the left of my belly button and really deep so don't think I will ever be able see it since I can't even find it now - still have 100 pounds to go though - only down 30 since surgery on 12/2/10.

Just above the belly button for me, too!

WOW!! I fell like the odd woman out here!! My port, and all others that my surgeon bands, is on my left side, but in my CHEST!! Yup, just out from my left armpit!! My incision is just at the edge of my armpit and the port just out from that. You really can't see it, but it is easy to feel and they say it is easy to access. I know from my first fill experience that it was easy for my NP to get to. Just one less belly incision I guess and all of the belly ones were very small.

My port is on my left side, now under my muscles a little below [and to the left of] my belly button

Mine is in the same place! I love it there. Very easy to access and less likely to protrude and stick out. My dr. says that he has only had one person to have a visible port here and that is because she lost too much weight. Even if it shows a little, my bra will still hide it, so no big deal!

Mine is just under my ribs on my left side and is the larger incision. My use to bother me when I bent over to shave my legs or pick something up becuase it would be in the way but now that I have lost alot of weight it doesnt bother me anymore.

Mine is about 3 inches to the right of center about 2 inches below the bottom rib. I have the Realize band so it is a lower profile port. The NP said that it was very easy to find and access when I went for a fill 2 weeks ago.

Mine is below my bra line, right in the center.

Mine is about 2'up and to the rt of my bellybutton. I can also feel it...feels like a large lump. I have my first pre-op appt tomorrow so I will ask if there is any rhyme or reason to where its put.

[Pinkygirl 34]

Mine is below my belly button. Actually, kind of inside the belly button on the bottom lining. If that makes sense lol You can not notice it, but I can feel it if I push on it. He put it there because I have my belly button piereced and said he didnt want to ruin the piercing lol

Mine is on my left side, up higher underneath my breast in my rib area....
