Mine is in my left side .Im told that it has ( most often) to do with whether the surgeon is right or left handed.

Mine is on my right side. My surgeons partner does them on the left side. So the running joke in their office is that they do this so can tell their patients apart....lol.:thumbsup: But seriously they said its just surgeon preference.

Mine is on my right side. Never noticed if he was left or right handed lol. I hear some people are getting the ports placed right under their sternum now too?

Mine is on my right side near the waist line. I can actually feel it now.

Mine is on my right side...about midway between my belly button and my boob...kind of on that diagonal. I dont think there is a specific side it is to be on but I think it the surgeons preference. Maybe it is the side of the operating table they are standing on lol.
