I always take myself off and I allow 10 minutes, just to be safe. I've never sprung a leak since I started timing it. But I will admit that my fistula has gotten really tough and it takes a little extra effort to push the needle through it.

If you've only been on a month, then, yes, they are still guessing at your dry weight.  The truth is, that's all it ever is - a guess.  What they won't tell you is that you can start setting your own dry wt, and tell them how much fluid to take off, depending on how much you ate, what clothes you are wearing, etc.  It's your body - take charge and don't let them boss you around!




Amen!!!!
