I just had my yearly recheck post Roux-en-Y in 2012. Yes I still do yearly check-in. I had my surgery at Mayo Rochester and they offer it to their post surgery patients who are over one year post surgery. It use to me in person, but now via Zoon. I do it to have my blood and urine tested, participate in group education session from nutritionist, short one-on-one with the nutritionist and a one-on-one with a provider to review test results, ask question, etc...

Your primary provider may be able to order and review the same tests, but I prefer to have it done within endocrinology department because they are more familiar with what tests to run and possible problems barbaric surgery patients face. I am on Medicare and my insurance covers it.

If your clinic / surgical center offers post surgery rechecks, I encourage you to take advantage of.
