Sam,
  VMD won't remove any atoms... If you're missing the atom it's because
the atom wasn't part of the atom selection you saved with "$sel writepdb" or
however you chose to do it. If you saved an atom selection that was
specified like this:
  set sel [atomselect top "all"]
  $sel writepdb my.pdb

Then you should not be missing any atoms.
If you had some selection other than "all", then you may have made a
mistake and excluded the atom of interest unintentionally.
