Re: Starband Orthomerica Mistake!/

[Guest guest]

Hi Stepanie:

My goodness, not a good day on the board! I'm sorry your poor

peanut is still so miserable wearing her band!

I switched my daughter from a STAR to a DOC 3+ yrs ago too with fit

probs. Others have as well & most have had no problem getting their

ins. to cover the DOCband after no success or probs with the

STARband. Also, many, myself included, rec'd a refund for our bad

STARbands. You're in PA right? Is there a CT nearby? NJ probably?

I'm so geographically challenged, don't laugh!! LOL I know LA isn't

an option though

You went 4 wks between her casting & fitting too, again, not to beat

on a dead horse, but with being just 4 mos when casted, I

cannot see how that band would ever fit her properly. Have you

considered a re-cast for the STARband?
