Reply to "How often to you get a pouchoscopy?"

After I got my j pouch, I had a pouchoscopy every 6 months. My surgeon wanted to check for cancer -- which was the reason I lost my colon. This is my 5th year so I graduate to an annual pouchoscopy, but now supplemented with a full body scan to check my organs. I don't think this will be forever. I will likely move to a check up every 2 years. Fingers crossed. If you were diagnosed with cancer or dysplasia, you and your doctor need to be vigilant.
