Hi All,

I'm new to the boards and wanted to introduce myself.

Have had UC for over 12 years and my latest colonoscopy revealed cancer.... so my Doc's said the colon has to go!!

Scheduled for J-Pouch surgery on Tuesday. I'm having it done in 2 parts. My surgeon trained at the Cleveland Clinic and is suppose to be pretty good. They are going to do it laparoscopic style with the Da Vinci robot.

I'm a little nervous as I've never had surgery before.

Wish me Luck!
