Patient (a UK forum available worldwide), and MedHelp and Topix (both US based but worldwide) each also have good "threads" of PS- and WLS-related discussion pages and fora, but FB's "Pyloric Stenosis Support Group" is by far the largest and most informative - and it's "closed". Best wishes!

I have no investment in Facebook, and don't like some of the things I hear, but have been a member of several of its Pyloric Stenosis groups for 10 or so years - and learnt so much! The biggest and best groups are "closed" - you have to join them before you can "see" or access and post to their discussions. Well over 1,000 adult and infant PS survivors are members and form an impressive range and depth of experience. WLS for people with scarring from the infant and adult PS surgery has been discussed several times.

Some of the scars from infant pyloric stenosis surgery have damaged or cut nerve lines and blood vessels and this can impair healing. Your doctor would have had to decide whether your scar's position and his intended surgery make up an issue or not. Btw, I've never read that the scars from infant surgery are less damaging than those from adult surgery. In fact, those of us with an scar from infancy know that it's larger than would have been necessary in adulthood and we've seen it grow with us. Best wishes
