This topic is about a person sharing their journey and reflections four months after having an ileostomy reversal. They talk about their recovery progress and some challenges they've faced along the way. Here are some key points and advice from their experience:

- The consistency of their stool has improved over time, changing from very loose to more formed, although the frequency of bowel movements is still unpredictable as they figure out which foods they can tolerate.

- Peanuts have become intolerable for them, as eating even a small amount led to frequent bowel movements for several hours, despite being well-chewed.

- They have a colonoscopy scheduled for May 8, which is a year after their original surgery. An oncology appointment was postponed due to fatigue from frequent blood tests but will be rescheduled after the colonoscopy.

- Sharing a post about their ostomy bag on World Ostomy Day inspired someone else to get a colonoscopy, which helped catch issues early, highlighting the importance of being open about such experiences.

- Overall, they are feeling positive and hope to avoid medical facilities for a while after their upcoming checks.

Advice and insights from others include:

- Sharing experiences about the reversal process can be very helpful for others who are considering or waiting for the procedure, so continued updates are encouraged.

- Another person who had a reversal and was released by their surgeon three months post-operation expressed satisfaction and ongoing improvement, emphasizing the support from the community as invaluable.

- When explaining post-reversal stool changes to others, it's helpful to mention that they are smaller and thinner because the output now comes through the small intestine instead of the large intestine.

- Many people find repeated blood draws uncomfortable, and others in the community can relate and offer empathy.
