Hi, frogman, thanks so, so much for the excellent suggestion! My wife is the FB member in the family, and it's funny how it never even occurred to me to look either for social media groups or even simply other pyloric stenosis fora. I am definitely going to give these options a look, because I am really at the end of my rope, both in terms of the PS alone and the WLS questions on top of that, too. Again, much thanks for both the promptness and the compassion of your response!

This is precisely the issue that I am facing right now: I had surgery for adult-onset idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis about twenty-five years ago, and over the past eight months or so, I have actually re-stenosed my pylorus. As I was also considering having WLS, the surgeon I have initially consulted is unsure just how safe a Roux-en-Y or sleeve is, due to the potential complications I have with scar tissue. Even though I know that adult pyloric stenosis is rare enough without talking about recurrence, I would love, just on the off-chance, to hear from anyone who has either had a WLS procedure or has faced the issue of recurrent pyloric stenosis. Thanks so much should anyone reply...this has been a hellish time for me, in terms of pain and nausea, and wanting to deal with my being overweight makes it just that much harder.
