Reply to "is it necessary to have yearly scopes"

Rebe0505Member

thanks everyone sounds like i need to rethink this .i wrote dr. shen today (he is out of office till the 24th) so i hope to hear from him since he knows me and my situation..he let me slide last year but will see how he feels about another year without scoping..i did not think about the rectual cuff cancer issues..although i have what is called antibiotic dependant pouchitis my last two scopes (but in 2009 and 2010) had pouch that looked normal ..cuff looked good too..so last time we asked shen how can that be he thought it was possible my inflamation was somewhere outside of pouch not seen on scope maybe..

i also will think about seeing someone here for checkout up scope with biopsy included as shen does ..its just that i trust him to judge findings and i will have to look outside of santa barbara maybe l.a because there is just not enough people who deal with jpouchers..

any recommendations from anyone in santa barbara about gi in l.a for scoping?
