Chicago area pouchers

I am on thirty years of really having no issues. I recently ran into a issue with pouchitis and was not even sure as to what it even was. I called the University of Chicago and most all my doctors from the 80's were no longer alive or practicing. I actually found the Dr who treated my UC prior to my original surgery and found out he is still practicing. I actually sat with him last week and have a scope scheduled for later this week. Again this feels all new to me as this is the 1st time I have been back at the U of C in many years. I am not sure as to who the players are anymore and will keep you posted as to what I find out. I know I will be starting with Dr Ira Hanan who is a Medicine Doctor and see where I end up.

My GI is out of Rush in Chicago.  He has clinic out of both Chicago and also Skokie (I live north of the city).  I absolutely love him.  My surgeon left a few years ago and I didn't really like the surgical team that replaced him.  If you only need a GI though, I highly recommend him.  He works closely with the surgeons at Rush so of course that is who he would refer you to if you needed surgery, but I have no clue who any of the surgeons are there anymore.  Feel free to PM me if you'd like more information.
