Reply to "Something Besides Pouchitis?"

Wow, that's really interesting. Good for Mary Greeley for thinking outside the box in the interests of both their patients health and finances. Unfortunately, I was told that the CC requires you to supply your own donor and they have to go through extensive testing. The procedure itself is relatively quick so it seems like the majority of the cost is on screening and testing the donor, which Mary Greeley has found a way around. I am bringing my dad, who is pretty healthy and has never had a GI issue in his life (unlike most of my relatives on my mom's side, including my mom). I am looking forward to hearing what they tell me at my appointment. I realize that I have not exhausted all potential options at this point, but if this is such a relatively easy procedure with such a high success rate, I'd rather forego future rounds of antibiotics. I've been on the vanco for a week now and I don't really feel any better. I may at times, but then I will get the pain/nausea/chills back. I'm just looking forward to not having this consuming my life any more.
