Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 , I have to agree, the pics really are amazing. Great B & A pics for people to see, especially new members. Good luck with the second band. I know you were excited to be through with the first, but I'm sure the time will go by quickly and you will not regret it. & Aidan in CT 13 months, doc band 7/21 > > OK, I posted Blythes " official " photos from Cranial Technologies in > the Before and After DOC file. > > The back and side photos are amazing.
