Does anyone know of an OBGYN in the Houston Area (Houston/Sugarland/Woodlands, Spring/Katy etc..) who has dealt with Ostomy or J-Pouch patients.
I have an Ostomy now and my surgeon at Cleveland Clinic encouraged me to go through pregnancy with the Ostomy before coming back in for the J-Pouch. We are planning to start trying now, but my regular OBGYN here has never dealt with an Ostomy patient. I would feel more comfortable consulting a doctor who has handled such patients before.

I am in Houston and had a baby last year and am 33 weeks pregnant now. I have a jpouch but my OBGYN is Dr. Jonathan Espana at the TCH Pavilion for Women. I love him!!! He's been so great thru both pregnancies and has really listened to me about my body and UC.
Thank you Mallory and congrats. do you know if he has dealt with Ostomy patients as well?
Not sure but I bet he does. He knew my surgeon well (Dr. Eric Haas) but I was pregnant after my ostomy takedown. Look up the Stolen Colon blog. She’s had 2 babies with her ostomy.
Thank you. I will go ahead and get an appointment with him
