Greetings,

We recently formed a J-Pouch support group in Los Angeles County, following the lead of St. Joseph Hospital in Orange County (meeting since 1988). Our second meeting is this Sat. May 10th at 10:30am. Sorry for the late notice. The group meets quarterly on the second Saturday of the month. The next 2008 meetings are August 9th and November 8th. Dr. Jonathan Sack, UCLA's Chief Colorectal Surgeon, serves as medical advisor.

Tomorrow's meeting location is at CCFA's LA office, 1640 S. Sepulveda Bl. #214, Los Angeles, CA 90025. Parking is available on-street. Please feel free to contact me at mtmay42@yahoo.com or 310-546-7927 if you have any questions. You can also check out CCFA's LA webpage for more info on support groups at: www.ccfa.org/chapters/losangeles/

Thanks.

Michael

WOW! I can't make it to this one but would be very interested in future meetings. My surgeon is Dr. Yoo at UCLA and might even be able to convince him to attend as well if he isn't already. August 9th., so far away, but hopefully I will be in better shape by then!
