How are the Dwarves?
Ok, enough of that side bar stuff..... I will get on track.
Rebooting.....
T8/T9 implant with the battery/computer sitting in my right hip just below the belt line... now do bear in mind that is a guy belt line and not the forever changing stylistic placement of the waist on women's clothing. I mention this variance since both my wife and daughter are forever dealing with the fashion idiocy of no one in Paris knows where a woman's waist is anatomically placed, and our daughter is only 20!
So, thinking of that slight perturbation I have had no problem with battery placement once the thing scarred in. Some do others do not. Check out Saffy's story for her concern about an abdominal placement which came in at above the bikini line and the scarring which became a nuisance.

More than anything... do ask questions of your Doc regarding placement options, risks, prospective difficulties, ask whether you may speak with any patient of theirs who has been through the process [why do I suggest this? Because my own surgeon has had patients to telephone me if they felt trepidatious]. Ask, ask, ask. Learn, learn, learn.
If you have more questions. Here we are!!!
