Port more on the right side?

[wintobethin 5]

Hi All,

Just a question I have about my port. It is located to the right side of my navel. Every post I have read from this site have said that their port is to the left. I am not sure if it is because of my severe diverticulosis:scared2: on my left side of colon or what, anybody have any idea????

my port is also more on the right side as well. I think it is just different with every surgeon. I hope you find your answers. Good luck.

My port is a little below the breast bone where there is less fat and will make filling a little easier. Each Dr is different. Good luck !

Mine is also on the right. I think it's just a personal preference thing with each surgeon.

Mine is a few inches above and to the right of the belly button. I think that's where my surgeon usually puts it.

I have no clue where mine is... my largest incision is on my right side and everytime I cough it hurts like hell on my right side. To sit to stand etc. I get a shooting pain there, so I think that is where mine is or I hope :tongue: Just banded 1/13 and have not had a fill yet

Mine is on the right of my navel and about 2.4 inches above it. I think it's just the surgeons preference.

Mine is to the right and above my belly button. Still pretty sore at this point. I agree with everyone else, I think it's the surgeon's preference of where they "anchor" the port.

Don't worry Baylee you will eventually feel better. It was a good month before I felt good and back to normal. The spot you are describing is probably where your portis. i hope you start to feel better soon.
