This week we spoke to Michele Rubin! Michele is an advanced practice nurse and is the Associate APN Director of the IBD Center at the University of Chicago Medicine. She specializes in surgery for IBD and has helped to create a J-Pouch specific clinic. We talked to her about surgery part of the treatment options, J-Pouches and what to expect in recovery, and how she works with patients to ensure they have the best outcomes. We also discussed the research that she's done related to IBD surgery and their efforts to try to predict a patient's response to their J-Pouch and how to treat complications. Finally we talked about how and why a surgeon may choose to hand sew instead of use surgical staples. Michele has been in the IBD space for a long time and has so much knowledge to share and she was such a joy and a light. We could have talked to her for hours.
