which side is our port on?

the best thing I can suggest is to talk to your doctor. I had to have my band put in a special spot because I previously had a hernia repair done. While I was having the hernia repair, the surgeon (not the same one as my lapband surgery) placed a surgical mesh that covered the whole abdomen instead of justing putting it in the place where the rupture ocurred.

So as a result my band is just under my ribcage on the left side. However I will have to have it moved soon because my boobs have started sagging so much that the left rests on the top of the port when I don't have a bra on.

I think that one reason they put it on the left is because the tube from the port to the band is short and placing it on the left makes it easier.

Also even though we know when something isn't right for our body the doctor knows anatomy better than the average person and therefore knows the best place for the port.
