Have decided to get the j pouch surgery done after 31 years of having UC. I am 43 years old. There is only one surgeon in the Kansas City area who does this. His name is Dr. Graham and has a 27 year history of being a GI surgeon. Does anyone think I should travel somewhere else for a second opionion? There are some in the St. Louis area I believe. That's 300 miles from me.
I'd like to know this forums thoughts on it.
Thanks bunches

Hello! My surgeon in Kansas City is Dr Lina o'Brien. I highly recommend her. She is so down-to-earth and spends quality time with her patients. I live in St Joseph and at one point had considered going up to Mayo Clinic. But my gastroenterologist referred me to Dr O'Brien. I'm so glad that I stayed local. So much easier to travel to Kansa City instead. She is at the medical mall on Carondelet at St Joseph Hospital. I had my first surgery at Menorah, and the second and third at St Joseph med center. I had excellent care at both places. I'm now six months post-op from takedown and doing quite well. I'd be happy to talk with you anytime!
