bbbanded 70 Posted May 16, 2012 Is there a gernal location for where it would be placed? I kind of picked up the habit of holding my stomach, so I want to make sure I quit touching places before I do something to it. I'm pretty serious when I say I can't wait for the surgeon to show me where it is! haha Had 5 incisions btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j1m 4 Posted May 16, 2012 some Dr.s are diffrent but most of them will put the port on the left side of your belly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted May 16, 2012 The port should be under the largest incision either on the left or right of belly button. I have heard of some rare placements where it is by the breast bone, but the most common is by the belly button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonna 4 Posted May 16, 2012 Yes, the port is located where the largest incision is on your belly. Mine is located about 6 inches above my belly button and to the right, below my right breast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mufasas-mom 170 Posted May 16, 2012 is it the surgeons choice where to put the band, or can you request it to be next to the belly button? or even lower?? can it be seen once you lose the weight and in swimsuits again?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted May 16, 2012 It is usually the surgeon's preference. Pre-op, my surgeon showed me exactly where it would be placed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
