      I know what you mean, I've been waiting over 4 months for my surgery, right now it's 3:51AM (I'm in New Zealand) and I'm sitting outside the toilet on the ground having an attack with intense nausea. But my surgery is booked in a months time.

    Here in the UK we wait forever for everything . Unfortunately it's not seen as an emergency

      To wait with that AWFUL pain is INHUMANE !!  I could hardly STAND the pain, I couldn't walk, barely talk.  all I knew is that I was in agony !  I went to the ER, spent the night abd had my GB removed the next day !
