Re: Time Between Casting and Fitting LEE

[Guest guest]

Hi Lee. I may be writing you AFTER your casting. I am a little behind

reading posts lately. Anyway, Jusin was 5 months with his first band.

So we were one of the fortunate ones to get the band in a week. But

the second time around was 7 months. We were told it would be

2 1/2 weeks in between casting and fitting. , our clinician,

knew us, and she knew that we really, really wanted it in sooner. She

said unfortunately she couldn't do anything about it. She said to

call in a week to see if it came in earlier. So I did. And I called

every day after that. Fortunately my annoying calls amounted to

success. 's band came in about 1 1/2 weeks after the casting.

So moved up our fitting appointment. So I would say just to

call a few times since it may come in early, and they just might not

call you since you are scheduled to come in anyway.
