bulb collapses, reservoir empty, system short on fluid

Within a few months of my implant in 2017 the bulb would collapse after pumping. Others had the same problem and it was widely thought that there was a lack of fluid in the system. There was a general feeling that something could be done but nobody knew what. I talked with the manufacturer = Titan - and they also thought something could be done but were not sure what.

After 6 years had an appointment with Dr Perito in Miami. He confirmed that the system was short on fluid and I was missing 10 -20 pumps. Within 24 hours the problem was solved with a short surgical procedure without complications or discomfort. I have the 10 pumps back that I was missing. Thank you Dr Perito

Darn that took long enough to figure out!
So is everything working again as it should? Dr Perito gets a lot of praise on here.

Yes, everything is fine. Even before everything was functional but I knew I was lacking some fluid. Now everything is better
