Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Valeria: Do you have any pictures of this ridge you could add to our PHOTOS section? I can understand why you'd be concerned!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Valeria, I see that Debbie already gave you this advice, but I just wanted to echo calling the specialist about the ridge and having it checked out. Since it is a difference you have noticed recently, they should certainly understand your concern/inquiry and check her out just to be sure. Would you let us know what you decide to do? I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy) > I have already asked this question, but I am hoping that someone has > an answer or some idea now.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Valeria, Hannah had some ridges that " popped " up after starting her banding last summer. She didn't have them at the beginning of treatment though, but she also doesn't have them now. I'm not sure what pics are in her album now, but it was quite evident even in her pics for quite some time. I always just attributed it to the plates her her head moving around and not being aligned as well as they should be. If you're concerned though, it wouldn't hurt to ask your ped or specialist. , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > I have already asked this question, but I am hoping that someone has > an answer or some idea now.
