As part of standard care, patients will have a consultation (clinic) visit with a gastroenterologist or surgeon. Patients will be followed per the standard of care at each institution. There are no required study visits. There will be no blinding performed in this study. All patients will receive standard (routine) medical care. No placebo or non-treatment group will be enrolled. There is no treatment failure. Patients will only be removed from the study if patients request this.
