  1. All looks well it was really interesting with a great explanation. The radiographer measured my present fill and I had lost approx 1 ml again . I drunk the liquid and it showed I had no restriction . He then topped me up to 8 ml and did another X-ray with the liguid still no restriction. Topped me up to just over 9 and It showed good restriction . My port band band and position all show to be correct with no obvious leaks . He was really nice and said he can't rule out a small leak that the X-ray just isn't picking up as I keep losing a ml every time . I'm back at the hospital group any way for a fill on Monday so I will ask her to measure my fluid again hopefully it will all be there but if not then I have a small leak ! Staying hopeful though !!!! Thanks everyone :0)
