tigk29 0 Posted June 16, 2005 I was wondering once you get to where you need to be with your fills if the saline ever needs to be changed after a while? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess_n_thep 2 Posted June 16, 2005 My doctor says once a year if your fill level is perfect for you. Otherwise, if you go for a refill within the year, they change it out anyways. He told me to think of it as a oil change in your car ha ha ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted June 16, 2005 No wonder I'm sluggish. I don't have a port so my oil is dirty. Sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandra 55 Posted June 27, 2005 I've never heard anything about the saline needing to be changed, either. And I've heard a LOT of talk about long-term band care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
