Please give some additional information for me to assist you better:

Brief Answer:
Prognosis is good if there are no symptoms and has normal weight

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Patient was operated on 13/01/2017 when the age was 6 months as per the discharge ticket.
Means the boy is now 3+ years and weight is 14 kg, normal for the age.
If there are no symptoms for the last 2 and half years, gaining weight normally means the prognosis is the best.
Nothing to worry at the moment.

The things to watch is any obstruction in the anastomosis of small intestine to large intestine. Which is very rare in this case.

I hope this answers your specific queries.
