Should I Have Another Endoscopy To See The Growth Of The Stomach Polyps?

I was told after an endoscopy that I had benign stomach polyps, I returned in one year for follow up visit and was told my doctor retired so another doctor read my chart and inform me everything was ok and I didn t need another endoscopy , but everything I read online says you should have another to see if they grow or change. What is your opinion?
