Growth of the foetus and infant following maternal jejuno-ileal bypass for obesity: a case report.
We describe detailed anthropometry in an infant born to a mother who had a jejuno-ileal bypass for obesity. He was average in all dimensions at birth but showed excessive weight gain in his first 3 years, partly due to obesity and partly to an unusually muscular build. More postnatal growth data are needed on such infants.
