Are you thinking you have one? I seen on here a while back where a lady had a leak and she got to bring her tubing home and her and her husband put red food coloring and Water in the tube and you could see several little puncture holes where it got poked during fills and she had to have her's replaced. It showed how easy it would be for someone not knowing what they're doing and not using fluro how easy it would be to ruin someone's band. I'm sure your like me when your self pay and pay close to 10 grand for your band and then all the money for fills you want to make dang sure whomever is doing your fills knows what they're doing.

And just to address this.... I don't think my doc didn't know what he was doing. I think it was purely and simply an ACCIDENT. My band wasn't ruined, I just had my port and tubing replaced. No biggie in the grand scheme of things.

Just wanted to clarify....

Peace.
