GI & Surgeon

I see both

I haven't seen my GI since my last UC flare before surgery. My surgeon told me I can see him if I have any sort of issues with my pouch and he said to come to him for the scopes. My GI is knowledgable with j pouches so I can see her too if I choose.

My surgeon told me I no longer need to see my GI doctor. I haven't seen her since I had my
Colon removed two years ago. My surgeon since once I'm okay, I'll see him once a year or so for check ups.

I was told there was no reason to see my GI doctor anymore. My surgeon and the nurses will tell help me with the pouch and everything.

I'm going to ask this question to my surgeon when I see her in
a couple of weeks. I really don't want to go back to the GI I
was seeing before surgery.

I saw mysurgeon for a year, then I've been with my GI since. Going on 16 years. Don't need a surgeon until I need more surgery.

I guess no one right answer, just like pretty much everything here!

My surgeon said to go to him for anything regarding my jpouch, except pouchitis! He wants me to see my GI if I ever have that.

I see both once a year

Surgeon only, I never did need the GI after the surgery.

GI mainly since surgeons don't seem to know that much about pouchitis and bacteria overgrowth or have the patience to deal with it I think. Why we have a GI and a surgeon. Surgeons are for surgery IMO.
