Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 at 5 1/2 months they were banded. Sara will be done in 2 weeks (6 weeks total time) and she looks great. In fact, if we took the band off today she would probably be fine. She is a great example of starting early. She has had a few good growth spurts in the last month and her progress was obvious after only a few days in the band. Sam is also making great progress, but his plagio was a bit more severe. He will probably outgrow his band within the next 3 weeks and we might be faced with the decision of whether or not to reband. Gail: I just wanted to congratulate you on the terrific progress both your twins have had in such a short time while in their DOCbands! I am very happy for you. Those bands really are amazing aren't they? Way to go! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Debbie, Thanks so much. We are very pleased with the progress and we have no regrets about our decision to band them. My husband keeps bringing up the point that 6 weeks in the band = $500/week for Sara, but it is soooo worth it. They'll probably both be out of their bands before we even hear back on our insurance appeal. Keep your fingers crossed on the appeal...
