There is a doctor is Los Angeles; USC that does a T pouch. His name is Dr. Andreas Kaiser. It would be worth it to contact Cleveland Clinic to see if they would take a look, or other well experienced Kock pouch surgeons. But CC is the best. I leak also. However, not any different than the Kock, and when I do, I think it could have been prevented and I am able to manage. Unfortunately, our surgeon is no longer in a hospital where he has the support staff to follow up with us. It is unfortunate that his prior hospital shut down his department and he had to go somewhere else. I hope this helps.
