I had that done also about 7 years ago. Once the polyps are removed, the threat is completely gone. Thus the importance of a colonoscopy at age 50 (without symptoms) or immediately upon appearance of warning symptoms. My symptoms were a dull lower front abdominal ache and slight rectal bleeding. Got a referral and had the procedure done within 2 weeks. As polyps grow very slowly, the doctor did not feel a need for regular followup. I was 41 years old at the time.

Hope this eases your mind.

His doctor will recommend any necessary followup.
