Re: Second band- advice needed

April 25, 2008

I would think if the ears changed that dramatically you should

definitely see a change in the number for the head. Usually the ears

are the hardest thing to correct and it sounds like you got great

correction there. I stand by what I first said, stick it out the

last 4 weeks and then see how you feel about it.
