Hi! Some Background: I had Kpouch surgery back in 2011 by Dr Beck at Oschner in New Orleans. I was 21 at the time and can’t say enough how much the surgery improved my quality of life. I’m currently 30yo and have since had 2 little boys, 3yo and 18mo. My pouch was fine during both pregnancies, but after my second son was born I started having issues with it not being as continent a as it should be. Sometimes it’s just a small amount leaking, but often it’s a lot. This isn’t an every day thing, and there’s really no rhyme or reason to it-it’s just very inconvenient and annoying. All that being said-I’d like to get to the bottom of what the issue is but my GI has no idea of anyone who deals with Kpouches. I’ve reviewed the list of surgeons, but I’m looking to see if anyone has any experience with a surgeon in the south east. Like I said Dr Beck in NOLA did my initial surgery, but I cannot get ahold of them to get answers and I don’t believe he’s practicing anymore. I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has experience with the surgeon in either Atlanta or Orlando-those are closest to me (I live in north FL). Thanks so much!!
