My advice is stay positive! Keep in mind lots of people who have J-pouches have no problem and so they don't post here! I have had minimal problems since my surgery about 8 years ago, and I'm 75! I had ulcerative colitis since junior high school, flareups every 10-15 years until finally my gastroenterologist found pre-cancerous area in the colon and told me to have it out. Surgery was laparoscopic which I assume yours will be - minimal scars and easy recovery. At the beginning there's an adjustment with soreness, itch, etc., but that goes away, you get used to how your new intestinal situation works, and you should be much better off than you have been. This is not disabling. Drink a lot of water, eat healthy, get out into nature and with friends, get involved in stuff, and you'll see that your life is going ok. Hey you're 21 with lots of good things ahead.
