Hi, I am in a similar boat - I have my first consult with Dr. Finlayson scheduled for week after next. J-pouch surgery seems likely, since I have failed to respond to other treatments. Dr. Mahadevan at UCSF is my GI and I have been happy with her, but I want to make sure I am doing enough research prior to choosing a surgeon. Curious to hear if you found out anything interesting about Dr. Finlayson, or found other recommended surgeons in the Bay Area?
Thanks
