Hi, I'm getting a SCS System implanted very soon.

I was wondering were did they put yours?

I'm thinking, of having it put in my belly on the right side

I see online that it's been done but it certainly highly mostly implanted on the back!

Seems to me that in the back, every time I sit anywhere, I will feel it. but if in the side of the belly would be more comfortable.

What do you have? And what do you think?

Being a small or big person, I think that would make a difference? I am 5'8" and 150lbs,

Thank you
