CT scan confirmed I have a slow leak. They can’t identify where from though.
Last Friday the problem first emerged. I would run out of fluid by 25 pumps. Today I ran out at 19 pumps.
So less than 3 months in from getting an implant, off I will go for a revision.
Hoping this will happen sooner rather than later, but not really looking forward to it, if that makes sense.
My guess is they will have to do a complete changeover because they can’t pin point the leak. It will be interesting to see where it actually leaked from.
Feels a bit like Groundhog Day. At least I have a fair idea now what I am in for. Patience Grasshopper, patience.
Sticky valve? Will it self resolve?
