Jenmom, the thigh bands bothered my daughter a little also, but she got used to it after a couple/few weeks. I have read about some people applying moleskin to help, but that would need to be replaced when the brace is washed, I believe, so it's a less than ideal solution. I've read about "toughening" up the skin in sections that talk about hard braces - to speed up the process of toughening up the skin they suggest applying rubbing alcohol. And whatever you do, don't apply cream which will soften the skin. We didn't do any of that since Katie seemed to adjust to it fairly quickly, but just some ideas that others have found useful...
Laura, good luck on the 4th!!!! We have an appointment coming up soon too (on 10/9) and I am well into my worrying mode. How nice that you can get a saturday appointment.
