Re: Help--Pic of 's new band

July 19, 2003

Hi wendy,

I can tell it's too tight just by looking at it. His band shouldn't

be hard to put on. Yes, it does feel awkward in the beginning putting

the band on and off. It feels awkward until you get use to doing it.

This ortho probably does have 19 years experience but with HAND AND

FEET ORTHOTICS AND PROSTHETICS. Just because he says he's done 40

bands doesn't mean it's the truth. We have had member whose ortho

lies about their experience. Can he prove to you that he's really

done 40 bands? Does he have references? Does he have any before and

after pics of babies he's banded in the past? If he did even 5 bands

he'd KNOW that 's band doesn't fit right!!

I think all the ammo you need is a picture of a baby in a STARband

that fits right!! You can find that in the photos section. I am so

sorry that is going through this. PLEASE keep that band off of

him until it is corrected. You SHOULD be able to get the band on the

headsickle without a problem!

But by seeing the photo---what do you see? I need to have some

ammunition on Monday because the orthotist with 19 years of exp. and

40 helmets under his belt thinks this is fine. My son hates it and I

don't think I can put it on his again. Of interest, he gave me the

headsickle as a little " gift " yesterday and for the life of me, I

cannot even get the helmet on that thing.
