I am a single father of a 5 your old gilr who is my whole world. I live in the middle ga. area so if there are any members in the area please write back. i could use the suport i have had a completed j-pouch for ten day's now.

Hi Chuck,
Although I don't live in GA, I'm in Fl and wanted to wish you well with your recovery! You could also post this in the General Discussions forum just to get a bigger audience because these sometimes don't get the traffic that the other's do.
All the best to you!

Chuck,

I'm on the Fulton County (Atlanta)/Forsyth County border.

I live in Madison I had my surgeries in 2007 I have 5 & 7 yr old sons. I will be happy to chat with you I am honest and don't suger coat things!

HI, suzyQ2 I am sorry that i did not respond to you till now. I just got out of the hospital, I had to have my closure redone. I am glad to say that since they fixed me I do feal alot better. The funny part is that they say it's my falt, how is it that my closure was twisted and swollen pind agenst my stomach wall.But thank you for replying it helps to now I'm not the only one out there.

Atlanta here! Surgeries at Dekalb Medical by Dr. Raoul Mayer.

Atlanta here! Dr. Is Guy Orangio at Georgia Colona and Rectal Surg Assoc. They are super, love them all. I had my initial pouch done in 08 and several surg later am so glad I did this. I too do not sugar coat. Am a nurse and would rather someone tell me the real deal. Will be glad to answer anything I can for you. I use St. Joseph's also. I have had a great experience with all mentioned. Good luck!
