need some advice

[Guest guest]

Hello. I am new to posting in this group. my daughter got her doc band

5/22/09 and is set for her exit appt 7/27/09. it will be just bearly 10wks total

in her band. she started at 7ms and will be 9mos when done. the problem is that

she has one adjustment left and i'm not totally satifiyed with the results. was

seen this last thursday b/c i though the band was not fitting right. the person

who have been making the adjustment the whole time looked at her band. was

basically told she is or will be out grown her band and there for she is done

and could get a second band and have to pay again as well.(out of pocket) me and

my husband are a little shocked that at this point would be talking about a

second band. also to note that her measurement was only at 7mm. so not that bad

to begain with.

i do see improvement with the plagio on the right side. what i'm not happy about

is the back of her head looks more flat and not very rounded out. the lady(not

sure if she is and orthis) said that the back of her head is the way it's going

to be and the band can't be adjusted to fix that part of her head. she also said

my daughter her a huge growth during the banding and there is not more room for

adjustments with the band.(no more foam to shave)

my this is... if you look inside her band there is only shaved foam on the right

in the back and some in the front on the left side. there is a distenctive ridge

right down the middle in the back. i would think there is still room for some

more adjustments.

now i am thinking maybe i expected better results then the band ever could of

done. also was spending this about of money evan worth it??? not sure where to

go from here. i feel like i expressed my concerns and was told there is nothing

else doc band can do. any advice offered will be greatly welcomed. next appt is

tuesday.

thank for reading,

frustrated mom
