A LS diagnosis does not always mean surgery. Your baby may have a shunt that is operable or she could have MVD. If it is MVD, you will have to manage it carefully with diet for life. If it is an operable shunt (extrahepatic), then they may be able to place a ring around the shunt, it will close and your baby will be put back on a normal diet. Some babies have both.
