I'm Confused- Location of Port and Band?

[speck 1]

My dr. decided to use the Realize Band the day of surgery.

My port is right in the center down below my breast. About 4 inches down from between breast.

Where is the band at? Below that or underneath it?

I googled images but it always shows the port being on the side.

Your band is on the top of your stomach - just like the pictures ( I would guess) -- the location of the port can vary depending on your physical make-up and doctors preference.

Mine (port) is sewn to muscle below the right breast. I can lay my hand on it and feel it if I try.

I can not FEEL the band location.

Hope this helps.

Doctors put them in all kids of places. Mine puts them beside your belly button.

You mean the port is around your belly button? I can't imagine the band being that low.

As I stated, my port is about 4 inches down from my breast right dab in the middle.

I go for my 1st follow up Monday so I'll have to ask then.

The port is only connected to the band by a thin tube, so they can place it anywhere within reach of the band. Mine is 4" to the left of my belly button.
