Any mummy's LO having tongue tied and underwent surgery? any advice on e charges and procedure? Thanks!
My son underwent the tongue-tie procedure in Feb this year, @ KKH. I've shared on my blog too. http://izlernen-reise.blogspot.com/2015/02/tongue-tie-release.html
Regarding the charges, I need to take a look at the invoice, but we managed to claim from the insurance. PM me if you would like to know about the cost, I'll be happy to share.
Hi bubbly
Care to share the insurance you have bought and the total cost?
I suspect my lo (2.5months) is having both upper lip tie and tongue tie as she can't fully stick her tongue out. Was planning to bring her to pd/ kkh. You just walk in to kkh without referral?
Hi garagling, I'm sorry, didn't know you wrote a message. I'll PM you the insurance tonight, I'm not sure at the moment.
I brought my son to Polyclinic, got a referral to KKH. It's essential, coz all the fees from the first visit to KKH onwards are subsidized. Otherwise, quite a sum...
My lo is turning 3 months. Tongue tied but i didnt let him do the process as i verified that tongue tie is not short tongue n wont affect the speech in the future. Only affects the latching. But since lo is latching well then i choose to let it be
Hi mommymich, where did you go for verification?
i did not have problem latching/ bottle feed.. and my baby is gaining weight well.. nevertheless, i made the decision to let her went thu the day surgery after being diagnosed by Dr Cheah from Gleneagles.. it was very heart aching to see my little one (8 mo) in so much pain for 3 days.. she simply refused to drink from bottle and rejected pacifier. she can only be spoon-fed. Thankfully, she recovered on the 4th day and back to her cheerful self.
sometimes, i wonder if I've made the right choice despite being diagnosed.. I wonder if the surgery was really necessary becos she did not hv issues with latching nor is she inherited. well, i would only feel less sorry as I know that she will not hv speech development problems in the future.
