the BEST J-pouch surgeons Recommendations needed!

I have had two bad GI doctors and am feeling quite burned out on the whole medical community. I have been on Remicade since 2008 with mostly positive results and went off of Remicade after I became pregnant. I had the discussion with my GI about the pros and cons of going off of Remicade for the pregnancy - he was basically like, "Whatever you decide- you can go either way." What he failed to realize and I soon found out after getting back on the Remicade after the birth of my baby is that going without the Remicade for awhile causes your body to produce antibodies to the drug and it resulted in a severe allergic reaction on fourth dose back. Needless to say, Remicade was the last option for me. I can't stay on prednisone forever. I am considering surgery and I have learned through research that that J-pouch success depends greatly on the skill of your surgeon. I need recommendations of surgeons from those of you who have had successful J-Pouch experiences- especially if you have had a baby post J-pouch. Please share names and locations of your surgeons. I would appreciate it so much. Trying to stay calm in SC.
