Smear or biopsy after Leep

Hi, I was diagnosed with CIN3 and high grade changes earlier this year. I had LEEP done and seemed ok. Recently I had my 6 month check up and they performed only a smear. I was under the impression that a biopsy would be done and tried to push this but my gynae said no. 

does this sound correct? Is a smear test adequate 6 months after the LEEP to confirm that all is well?

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious following your most recent checkup after treatment for cell changes.

    I hope you don't have to wait too long for your test results and that they offer you some reassurance.
