Re: Not so good news about DOC band

February 26, 2006

I can say that the band does NOT just change the shape of the head

just by being on there because my son had it on for a month 23 hours

per day without any change. I just started taking it off more AFTER

that happened. I don't want to sound ungrateful either because I

can see improvement. Thanks.

It can't dynamically change the position of the head if it's not on

the head to work. As I said, my son didn't hit a noticeable " growth

spurt " while he was banded. He only gained two pounds in four

months. But there was significant change to his head shape.
