hi my name is Jennifer I'm 37 married with a 3 year old. I've had a J pouch since 1999. I just joined and have already found solutions to problems I've been having for 3 years. Ugh! Why don't doctors know this stuff. So thank you for all the help already

Hi my name is Stephanie and I'm 33 years old. I'm scheduled for my takedown surgery on Tuesday, October 20th and I also live in Denver. I don't personally know anyone who has had this surgery or is living with a jpouch. It would be great if you might be interested in exchanging contact information

Jim here in Denver. Anyone have a good GI doctor? I've been to Rocky Mountain Gastro and not happy with them.
The doctors at "Colon and Rectal Clinic of Colorado" are incredible. Look up their website and see if they are what you need.
