They follow Dr. Center and her recommendations. There are a lot of people that have LS and MVD babies. Some have had surgery and some are not candidates. They can guide you with all aspects, along with food and supplements.
My first choice for an LS surgery would be Cornell University, and I am sure that the cost for LS surgery is pretty cheap compared to most specialty hospitals.
If surgery is the way to go, that is what I would do. LS babies that have had surgery do remarkable well and move onto living a very happy and long life....
