Thinking about band #2 - need some thoughts/advice

November 19, 2008

Hi everyone...

I was hoping to get an idea about what some of your experiences have

been if you've decided to get a second band. Luke will be six months

old in a few days and he's been in his DOC for six weeks. I think

he's really started to get some good correction, but it's not as

significant as I was hoping to see, especially after getting his

before and after photos done today (I'll try to post them in the L

folder under Luke W.). My husband and I had made the decision to

continue with a second band primarily b/c we felt that we could

really catch that six month growth spurt and see some progress

(hopefully) and b/c Luke still isn't rolling back to belly (he LOVES

tummy time, though, so believe me, we do a LOT of it!).

I'll try to get those pics up and if you can please give me your

honest opinions and experiences I'd REALLY appreciate it!!! When I

look at his photos the most significant change I see is that he lost

all of his hair! ;-)

Thanks so much!

I haven't seen the photos but I say if you want more correction than go for it. Then you will not have to wonder what if later. Good luck with your decision.

We had 2 bands... and I'm glad we did. My dd was older than your sone and we didn;t have that much of a growth spurt... and we had a different band... but I know we were'nt happy with the results after the 1st and I would have regretted NOT banding again later in life.

The time is short for when you can use this therapy to help and I wanted to do all I could while I could.

HTH!
