Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 We were one of the very lucky last ones to get the doc band in calgary. We are from Manitoba so we traveled to get there. We are currently requesting that Manitoba Health pay for us to travel to Chicago and also to pay for another doc band. I'm sure they'll tell us to get lost but i wanted to ask any way. I am very disappointed as a Canadian that we are being short changed in regard to our options when it comes to banding our children. To not have the option to go to cranial technologies is rediculous to me. I plan to raise a little stink about this to our minister of health at some point in the future. It is scary to think that we are having a lack of options when it comes to treating plagio can you imagine the lack when it comes to other conditions or diseases. I suspect this is not the only area we are getting short changed in. Haylee > > > > Hi! > > I have a question to those whose kids were banded at older age and > > have graduated already.
