Hi Kara, I too went to the Cleveland Clinic. I had Dr. David Deetz as my surgeon. I went in to see him in October 2011 and there was only 1 Friday that he couldn't perform my surgery. I could have had it anytime I wanted but with my husbands schedule, we choose to have it in May 2012. Had surgery May 4, went home the following Saturday May 12. Dr. Deetz was awesome, had no complications and to date have had only 1 case of pouchitis. grandma64
