I've heard that a lot of neurosurgeons aren't pro-band. You have to

figure out...if her head shape stays the same, will I be happy? If

no, then band. If yes, then don't do anything and hopefully there

will be no regrets later. If on the fence, then I would probably go

for it. As for Hanger, it seems that it depends on the clinician so

maybe post which location.
