Reply to "General Care"

It’s useful to have an established relationship with a GI in case problems arise. The wait for a new patient appointment is sometimes substantial. In addition, there are different opinions and circumstances regarding periodic pouchoscopies. If you had cancer or dysplasia before getting your J-pouch there’s good reason to get periodic screening  biopsies (many suggest annually). I go much less frequently for pouchoscopies, but I’m fortunate that my gastroenterologist is also my primary care doctor, so I see him annually anyway.
