Hello,
Sorry I did not respond sooner. My husband had a neobladder surgery preformed January 6 at IUMC. Surgery was preformed by Dr. Michael Koch. He was/is great. My husbands surgery was about 3.5 hours and he was in the hospital for about 5 days.

If you would like any more info about the hospital or Dr. Koch, please ask. I'd be happy to help in any way. I found this website (especially Tim) very helpful after my husbands diagnosis.

Looking forward to answering any questions.
