Jack, I'm in Canada, but we have the same protocol, every 3 months for the first year, with full work up, including chest xray, etc. at the one year mark, then repeat except every 6 months to the 2 year mark, then annually. My surgeon of course also has advised to let him know if I feel anything "off", and then I will have an immediate appointment.
