I have been home 4 days from the hospital. Can go back to work in 5 days or I can have all of next week as well. I'm still not feeling a good normal yet. Still some urgency and I am going to the bathroom a lot. Last night was horrible. I kept he getting up and got a total of maybe 3 hours of sleep. This gets better right?

It definitely definitely gets better. You are amazing if you can go back to work so soon afterward. I had a lot more problems and lengthier hospital stays and surgery, but, again, yes, it gets better. Take as much time off as you can to rest and heal.
I was 19, and had the benefit of a summer off... May to September. It totally gets better. I did have a mucosectomy.
Did your pouch behave differently after? I don't really feel like I'm going that much but feel as if there is stool that's not emptying, I was checked for a stricture about 1 week and half ago and at the time there wasn't one.
I suppose I wasn't clear. My mucosectomy was part of my original surgery.
