Have you had a 2nd endoscopy and was it useful?

It is often advised for Coeliacs to have a 2nd Endoscopy to check that the villi are healing within the stomach and compare the improvement with the 1st one (as per the Marsh scale). Despite blood checks showing 0 i.e. good = no immune reaction to gluten the villi can still be damaged. So how many of you have had a 2nd endoscopy and was this useful? Did it give you comfort?

I had my first endoscopy on 25th May 2007 & my second on 27th January 2011 it showed that there was some improvement along with the bloods.
