Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 We had a huge change in the first 5 weeks my son was in his band (12.2 mm down to 7 mm). After that we had 9 weeks with very little change then another growth spurt in the last 6 weeks in the band. He finally graduated at 4.6 mm. Molly Novato, California Nicolas, 2.5, tort & plagio, STARband (CIRS Oakland) 4/24/06-9/12/06, Graduate! , 5 , 8.5 SOOO EXCITED!! SO MY SON STARTED HIS HANGER HELMET ON MAY 27TH, AND WE WENT FOR A CHECK UP yesterday on june 20th TO MEASURE AND TAKE PIC AND HIS HEAD HAD ALREADY CHANGED.. I HAD NOOO IDEA THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THAT FAST.. HE SAID THAT IT HAS A 3MM DIFFERENCE ALREADY WHICH IS GREAT and you can sctually see a difference in the pic!!! THE DOC SAID THAT IF HE GROWS THAT 3MM EVERY 3WK CHECK UP, WE CAN GET THIS THING OFF BY AUGUST... THAT IS SUCH A RELIEFE!!!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I am unsure how old your son is but my son had a doc band at 4 months and we went each week for adjustments (not every three weeks which seems long to me). We also had a 3 mm change the first week and about a 2 mm-3mm change each week therafter ending 8 weeks after banding almost completely correcting a 15 mm issue. I am happy that you are very happy with the 3 mm but I do not know the age of your son. If he is older I would think that would be okay progress but if he is younger than I would hope for a bit more. Good luck and keep us posted.
