Hi, after 2.5 years in remission from my severe UC while on Humira (5 years before that super sick on Remicaid), I relapsed after the birth of my second daughter. After a rough 3 months on high doses of Prednisone, I was in a brief remission on Simponi. Now I have relapsed and just found out that I am (surprise!) pregnant again. I am not feeling optimistic about meds working for me considering my track record with the disease, and I may have come to the point where i must consider surgery in order to care for my family. I desperately need the best j pouch surgeon recommendations as I have received poor GI in the past, which almost killed me. I have a hard time trusting doctors now, though I do have a regular GI I like. I live in SC but would travel if necessary for the best doctors. Although, obviously if you have had the surgery you know what kind of travel distance is feasible post-op. I would love to have that information as well. Thank you!
