Hi ,

Tony Cappa is who we met with who we have the appointment with on

Friday. responded who lives in Ronkonkoma and she opted to go

to NJ and get the Doc band. The subject on that posting is &

Brady, maybe she could give you more input on which to go with. She

got almost 90% correction and an older age. I think CPO consulting

has been doing bands for about 4 years. I did ask Tony how many

babies he's treated, etc. It sounded like hes beening doing it for

about 3 years. About 100 or so babies per year. He said about 80-

85% of the parents are satisfied with the results. Exactly what all

that means is questionable. It seems as though not every baby is

going to have success. I did talk to a mom in the waiting room at

CPO and her baby was out of the band for about a week because it

needed to be readjusted and she said she noticed the flat spot coming

back some in only a week. Now of course her baby was not through

with treatment, but does it take that long to get an appointment at

CPO Consulting? I still don't know what to do. I will probably go

for the band and one person said all I am going to be out is time and

money. Otherwise I could regret the wrong decision for the rest of

my life. If I get the band and it doesn't work out or whatever, than

all I am out is $1,000. So I will let you know my final decision.

My husband is more reluctant to get the band and his mom and aunt say

don't do it. But he will do whatever I want to do. LOL. Thank you

all for your support and help with my delima.
