For those of you eight years into your disease or more, what's your frequency of colonoscopies. What do your doctors say..

mine goes by the recommendation of yearly after 10, but I push to 1.5 or a bit longer when I am doing well.

Generally, every year or at least every-other-year are recommended depending on practice, patient compliance, etc.
