third DOC band/peer-reviewed articles

[Guest guest]

thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about needing a third band.

emma was casted for her second band on thursday and did SO well. i had

though it would be tougher now that she's older, but it was even

easier than the first time. she just cried a little at first (while on

her back) and then played with toys when we sat her up. she had eye

surgery on friday to unblock a blocked tear duct, and she did really

well with that too. she's such a little trooper! of course, now she

has what looks like a black eye, and with the band, she really looks

like a little boxer or something. : )

i'm hoping band #2 does the trick and that she has some great growth

spurts.

i recently received my insurance appeal denial. they stated that there

was no peer-reviewed medical literature to support the positive health

benefits of banding. for my appeal, i included some articles that i

found through this website. i thought they were from peer-reviewed

journals... does anyone know anything about this? or where i might

locate some? any help would be appreciated!

thanks again!

Hi Amy,

I think I included some articles with my successful

appeal that weren't from this website. I'll have to

check when I get home from work tonight. I'll try to

get back to you tomorrow.

My daughter goes to Atlanta GA for her adjustments. All the time I see articals on the success and the good the D.O.C. band has done for children in place of surgey. Is this something you think you need? If so, I can mail you these papers on the band and all the success stories they have .Let me know I'll be glad to help you out. -is(10m) mommy
