Yesterday met a new surgeon, Dr. Shukla, and new gastrointestinal, Dr. Bosworth.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these doctors. How good of a surgeon is Dr. Shukla? Dr. Shukla is not sure if he can save Jeff's j-pouch because of the fistula which, we think, is not along a seam line but in the back of the pouch in the tissue. It's a micro tear. Unusual not to be on the seam line. But no one knows for sure.
They have ordered an MRI and a pouchoscopy so far. Don't know what will come next. Any insight is appreciated, good or bad. I'm finally figuring out to just deal with today and not worry about tomorrow.
Thank you!
Dianne
