Re: Thinking about band #2 - need some thoughts/advice

[Guest guest]

Do you know how your appointment was scheduled? I think if they know

you are definitely graduating at your last adjustment (as they did

with us), they will have scheduled you for like an hour or hour and

a half on Monday and they'll do pictures, measurements and another

DSi scan. I do believe sometimes the exit pictures and scan might be

scheduled separately on another day. I think I've heard of people

going back for them after graduation. They need to schedule the

block of time in advance, or they won't have time to do it the day

of graduation. You might need to call and find out. We did ours the

same day we graduated because we knew in advance it would be our

last appointment, plus we travelled from out of town, so they didn't

want us to have to come back again just for photos/scan.

Also, FYI, if you're interested in getting an exit mold poured (so

that you have 2 headsicles to keep forever!), there's an extra

charge of $75. You just have to let them know you want to order it

when the scan is done, if you decide you want it.
