What? Why?
Brief Answer:
Discuss with gastroenterologist how often recheck
Detailed Answer:
I am sorry. I just see all of your queries and since you renoved this polyp during colonoscopy you will just have to discuss wuth your gastroenterologist how often to recheck your colon. These are the most common type of polyp and are the ones referred to most often when a doctor speaks of colon or rectal polyps; about 70% of polyps removed are of this type. Adenomas carry a definite cancer risk that rises as the polyp grows larger. Adenomatous polyps usually cause no symptoms, but, if detected early, they can be removed during a colonoscopy before any cancer cells form. The good news is that polyps grow slowly and may take years to turn into cancer. Patients with a history of adenomatous polyps must be periodically reexamined.
This was the basis on which I recommend you to visit a gastroenterologist.
Hope I am clear.

When do you recommend
Brief Answer:
guideliness for future colonoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Since you wrote that the pathology showed tubular adenoma, recommendations are to do future colonoscopy after five years for people with 1 or 2 small (less than 1 cm) tubular adenomas with low-grade dysplasia.
People with 3 to 10 adenomas, or a large (1 cm +) adenoma, or any adenomas with high-grade dysplasia or villous features should perform future colonoscopy 3 years after polyps are removed.
People with more than 10 adenomas on a single exam within 3 years after removal.
Only people with sessile adenomas that are removed in pieces should have future colonoscopy ater 6 months of removal.
Guideliness are mostly based on pathology, but sometimes it is important to include possible risk factors as positive family history, age (over 50), lifestyle, obesity...
This is the reason why I recommend to talk to your gastroenterologist to see if colonoscopy is perhaps needed earlier in case that some of these risk factors is positive.
I hope this aswer was helpful.
