Re: Hanger / Star Band -

I would be very cautious about who you band with post op. If he

isn't trained and skilled working with cranio babies after surgery I

would take a pass. The results could be devastating. Fifty bands

isn't really that much. Ask him how many of those bands were post

op and check out the before and after pictures and check references.

Good luck with surgery!
