Confused about fills

[bernadette 0]

From what I am reading, it is my understanding that when ever you get fills, the doctor is supposed to remove the old Fluid before putting in new fluid??? Mine does not do this. Should I be concerned? Should I ask him to remove the old stuff first???

Also, and this may sound stupid but, can the saline evaporate?

The contents of the band should be removed prior to your fill, to check to see if any saline solution was lost between adjustments.

What Pianoman said. Plus, if there is any air in your band the saline can most certainly evaporate. I had that problem with my first fill: there was alot of air in my band, the Dr didn't get it all out and half my saline disappeared before my next fill.
