Reply to "Do you have regular checkups years after surgery?"

I see my family physician regularly, but never a GI Dr. As I mentioned, the last time I saw one, he said no need unless I have problems. He apparently was one of the top GI doctors in Canada.

I guess I wondered what they would be looking for, if doing a scope annually. Cancer makes sense. I was aware of the risk at the rectal cuff, but have never worried about it.

Maybe I'll ask my physician to look into it, I'm 59 now. I don't know if the same doctor is still practicing, or may need a new referral anyway.
