Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 My son is 16 months old and had 2 bad starbands and now has a doc band. Things are going really well and we are seeing great correction. My question is how can you tell that the band has been out grown. I am wondering if my son is going to need 2 bands. CT says no because the sutures fuse at 18 months. I kinda doubt this information because they told us that we shouldn't bother banding after 12 months in the first place because it won't work. Well it has worked. I want to make sure that we push for band 2 if it is really needed or could help more. Hazel I thought you might have some good information on this as you are clearly in this situation. What did ct tell you guys about getting a second band at 16 months? How did they determine that the last one was no good anymore? Thanks Haylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
