Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Hi - That's so funny that you ask that. Jack just started his DOCband treatment this past week, but he was born with a full head of dark hair and a " blond patch " on the top of his head. Most of his baby hair eventually fell out and all of his hair is coming back quite blond now, but you can still see that the " blond patch " is quite a bit lighter than the rest. We think it's a birth mark. It will be interesting to see if the band causes anymore lightening. I'll let you know.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Hunter has 2 places where his hair is almost white (the rest of his hair is brown) , My son has a white patch of hair at the back of his head. He was never banded and it keeps growing back every time we shave shave the bottom of his head. He has red hair otherwise. I just thought it was a cute little quirk. - Kansas City, MO Mommy of Leigha - --- bicoronal cs - CVR surgery 5/01 To be banded Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's spots are also where the band had the most pressure. He's been out of his band for about 2 months now and the spots are not as noticeable as they were when we first noticed them. Everyone, thanks for all the replies! (Hunter's mom) Baton Rouge, LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
