My first one will be somewhere in the 4-5 month range post-op.  Don't know after that.

My MRI was scheduled at another hospital than the one where I had surgery. My surgeon told me follow up at 1 year.
The other hospital wanted me to show up after six months (misunderstanding between the two).

I asked him if that was okay. He said 6 months or one year didn't matter that much to him, so I got at follow up at 6 months and it was clean.
I was told I needed no more MRI's

At 1½ years, I developed a CSF leak, so I got a follow up MRI anyhow. Still clean :)
