Are there any other adults who had pyloric stenosis as a baby and have a weight problem now?

I'm a 31 year old female who had pyloric stenosis surgery at two weeks old. I'm just wondering if there is any correlation between the surgery and being overweight as an adult.

Thanks.

    My daughter who is 19 now had this at two weeks old also and she has had no wieght issues due to this. I also had an older brother who is 46 who had this as a baby and he has always been thin. Sorry but i dont think it is anything to do with the pyloric stenosis..

    The child with hip problems at 8 months probably had the same problem at birth; it just went unnoticed. Pyloric stenosis usually does not present until the infant is 4 - 8 weeks of age. The two conditions are unrelated. I know of no syndrome that involves the two together.
