I think they are all placed where ever the surgeon decides to on his whim. Mine is exactly where you would place your hand to do CPR. I hope I never need it. Katt

Mine is about 5 inches left of my belly button, but above my waist if that makes sense. I wonder if there is any correlation between flipped-moving ports and original location? Are any doc's gathering info on this?

Mine is about two inches directly above my belly button. Mine's still fairly new, so it occasionally hurts when I bend down for a bit. I think it's the scar tissue that's sore, not exactly the port. I'm curious what makes surgeons decide where to put them.

Mine is 3 inches below my right breast. I can see it buldge a little and it feels like a lump. I just wonder if it will stick out even more after the weight is gone? I say who cares as long as I can get the weight off and live a healthy lifestyle.

Regards to all,

Mine is about 3 inches below my left breast. I have the low profile port so it is not showing as of yet, it may later I don't know. Just been 2 months.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
