Is there anybody who would be interested in a boston-area Jpouch support group? Unfortunately, the one that was at Lahey Clinic is no longer happening. So i'm trying to see if there would be interest for one. Could help for people post-surgery who are looking for support and have questions about their post-surgery life and any issues that are arising. Comment below if you are interested and I can try to message you privately.

I should mention that my signature is not updated. I had Jpouch surgery done in 3 parts. Part 1 - Aug 2015, Part 2 - Nov 2015, Part 3 - Feb 2016

Congratulations on your j-pouch. How is everything working out for you? I was reversed in November and I am so thankful to be done with UC.

There is a much larger jpouch community on j-pouch.org

I was reversed in Feb as well. You'll get tons of support here :) You may want to post in the Ostomy forums as well

If you're on Facebook, do a search for The J-Pouch group and click the request to be added. It's a private group so admin will add you and since its private, nothing appears on your personal FB page. By far the best support group of people. Over 3000 members. It's the same administrator as the Jpouch.org forum but you get in touch with people and answers much faster. :)
