Re: UGH! Top Specialist says no band needed but I STILL think-PICS R UP

[Guest guest]

To clarify, measurements at CT are taken with these caliper things

(or at least when my son was banded...Feb.-April). If you move

forward with CT, then they will take a cast/mold (similiar to how

they cast a broken arm)or a scan (some CT locations have a scan

thing now and no longer do casting) and then 10-14 days later you

will go back to CT to pick-up the band. CT is great with answering

questions so hopefully, they can help clarify anything that you

aren't sure about. Let us know what they say and if you here back

from Dr. Vicari and what he says.
