hi happytots - another thing to add...my son's VSD (the peri) is abt 9++mm.. that hole is patched by Dr Shankar during his second heart operation. Technically it is good to do surgery when the bb is abt 8kg, but becos my son did a banding, his band is tight and is restricting his growth and feeding, hence we did the surgery when he is just 6kg.
during that time there is another bb who needed an emergency surgery in the morn and he just have 1 hole in the heart but there was no banding. Dr SHankar explained that banding is usually done when there is multiple holes (like my son's muscular vsds).
Now we r seeing Dr Wong for echos in 4 mths (sept) to see the artery (as it was tight due to the banding being tight)
