who does your scopes

shawanna24Member

Just wondering who everyone goes to to get their pouches scoped? I usually go to Dr. Shen but wondering if a regular GI would scope a pouch. I have not had any problems, I just have gone to him in the past because I had my surgery at Cleveland Clinic.

Thanks!

My local GI. Always have. Especially OK if you do not have unusual problems that need Dr. Shen's expertise. My GI is a liver specialist, but I like him a lot and he is open to new ideas. Plus, he reads the journals to keep up. He is in my group and all my medical records are available to him.

You do not want a GI who thinks your pouch is the same as a rectum!

That said, if my surgery was at Cleveland and Dr. Shen was my doctor, I certainly would not change unless he was not where I lived.
