What side are you on? Talking about Lap Band Ports

What side is the "port" on for you?  Are you above the waist or below?  Left or right?

How did you know where it is?  Would it have been the longest incision made or the smallest?

Can you feel yours?

Ever think about doing a bull's eye tattoo around that area?  That'd be funny huh?

Left
Pretty much at my waist
Longest incision
Can see it, can feel it, haven't considered a tattoo over the area.
Peace

mine is on my right side right above my waist.  I can't see it, but I can definately feel it.  It is the longest incision.

Left side, above my waist, below my breast.  Basically just under the ribcage.  I knew where it was because of the size of the incision.  Port incisions are usually the largest.  Yep, I sure can feel mine and the more weight you lose the more you can feel it.  I can actually SEE mine poking out now (even more so when I was pregnant).  I'm not sure I'd have a tattoo over the area, but my scars are so light and faded now that I'm 2 years out that it's not a consideration for hiding.  Bullseye WOULD be funny though.  It would give my NP a nice target lol
