Hi,

I just saw your e-mail - I am interested in meeting other j-pouchers.
I was just saying today to my doctor that there are no j-pouch support
group in the Sacramento area. I did attend one j-pouch group meeting
in S.F. but it is isn't convenient for me to get over to S.F. to
attend the support group meeting there. Unfortunately, I missed the
Feb. 9th meeting but will there be another meeting? I live in
Antelope which isn't far from Roseville.

I've had a j-pouch for nearly 5 years but it has been hard because I
don't know anyone else with a j-pouch so it has been a trial & error
situation for me these last 5 years living with a j-pouch and I've
felt a bit isolated because no one seems to understand what I go
through. My own primary physician didn't know anything about the j-
pouch or the surgery.

Well if there is a group meeting again, please let me know. My e-mail
address is alva.kennedy(a)dhcs.ca.gov
