I thought i’d update you all on my long awaited rthr.

I am in the NHS Lothian area in Scotland.

i was referred by my gp in July 2017, had consultant appointment in May 2018.

As you can imagine I was getting very frustrated at the time it was all taking.

Yesterday at long last my appointment letter popped through my letter box.

i have my pre op in 2 weeks time, then my surgery on 10th October.

i am excited and terrified at the same time. I will be glad when it’s all over, I have recovered and can get some normality in my life.

Thanks for all your support.

    That's really good news.

    I'm in England and have been waiting nearly as long as you.

    Had my pre op two over weeks ago but not been given a date yet.

    I hope it all goes really well for you.

    Please let us know how you are getting on.
