Reply to "J-pouch check ups (UK)?"

BobishMember

I'm in UK and exactly the same position as you albannach. Had my op 2.5 years ago and not been scoped or checked at all... Like you I don't think I have any issues so they don't seem that bothered. I had chats with the nurses just to monitor progress, and I've asked about scopes and they just say they will get me in for a scope at some point but it's not really required, and tell me it will be prioritised if I have issues.

Was your surgery elective? If you have signs of Cancer previously then I think they are pretty good at getting you in, but if the op was preventative and you have no issues outside of standard pouch function they consider you 'normal' so routine screening... Every 2 to 5 years I think was mentioned....
