Mine is on my right side too. Above waist line, below bra line. Doesn't bother me except for when I shave my legs too!!

Mine is on the left. About 2 inches above my belly button and 2 inches to the right of my belly button. I sleep on my left side alot and I do feel it at night and have to adjust my body to get comfortable. I wonder if this is going to be an issue when Im not so fluffy anymore. :)

Similar to surgeries in the UK , My port is attached to the muscle over my breastbone. Dead center!

Mine is on my left, freaks my wife out if she accidently touches it. The cats tried digging it out occasionally thinking its a treat in my shirt.

LOL!!!! That's hilarious.

lol to be honest I don't know! I'm only 5 days post op and haven't figured it out yet, but before surgery my doc said it would be on the right, just below my breast. I think it might be there. You know, just where you would have gallbladder pain...right there along your rib cage line. Hmmmm

Looks like I'm the odd ball here......my port is dead center about 8 inches up from my belly button. No problems due to location of port.

I like the location of mine - dead center just below center of rib cage. The only way I can feel it is if I touch it. It never gets in the way of bending or clothing.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
