My doctor recommends every 6 months and every 3-6 months to have blood work done to be sure you are not vitamin or protein difficient... a check up wouldn't hurt....

Sounds like you are okay. Some doctors do recommend an endoscopy every year. I would call and see if you can get ahold of your doctor just to let him know everything is okay and see if he wants to see you. Good luck.
