MC Cindy 0 Posted October 26, 2007 I was wondering where everyone has had their port placed... I was banded 2 weeks ago and mine is about an inch under my belly button... It is quite uncomfortable with jeans on.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginaki 0 Posted October 26, 2007 getting banded on tuesday and my port will be put in between my boobies...lol..under my breast bone to be precise....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandster_1007 1 Posted October 26, 2007 mine is located slightly on the right, midway between my belly button and my breast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tralynn222 17 Posted October 26, 2007 I haven't had surgery yet - scheduled for Nov 13th, but my doc said it will be slightly to the right as well. I guess all surgeons don't put it in the same place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
make33 2 Posted October 26, 2007 When I first started, I thought band placement was standard, but through reading the threads, I find that's definitely NOT the case. My surgeon told me the most convenient place (for him) would be between the breasts, but mine wouldn't be placed there because of the bra. So mine is in the midsection, right hand side. (Healing nicely now, but gave me issues with getting up and down...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawbebe 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Mine is on the left level with belly button..I had my surgery on 10/17/07 and the steri-strip just fell off yesterday over the port..that is my most painful site also.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realmccoy 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Mine in on the right side just below my rib cage-at least that is where I feel it, but when I get a fill-he shoots to the right side about two inches from my belly button! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

new_me_2008 1 Posted October 26, 2007 two inches above and to the right of my belly button....the scar is about 3 inches long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kacee 3 Posted October 26, 2007 Dead center, about 2 inches below my breast bone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wendy1263 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Mine is at the very top of my stomach in the middle...right under the breast. It is very noticible. The skin is molded right over it, so you can see it clearly. I'm kinda glad because I know that getting fills (starting November 3rd) it won't be hard to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiritus 0 Posted October 29, 2007 My surgery was on Oct 15 and my port is on the left side and 2 inches above my belly button! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griz Girl 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Just had mine done last Thursday. My port is not far below my left breast. It seems like a good place because it is below the bra and above any waistbands. Out in the middle of nowhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M Taylor 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Halfway between belly button and breastbone, four inches to the left of midline. It is palpable, but not visible and doesn't hurt at all. Only a tiny one inch scar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MC Cindy 0 Posted October 30, 2007 I am really surprised how it vaired so much. Thank you to all that answered, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
