hi, i waited 24 weeks- past the 18 week deadline as the hospital cancelled the OP twice on me. I had a telephone pre-op update call to check all details correct abd then just had to have bloodtests a few days prior to op. It seems here in the Uk this op falls under General Surgery and emergencies/ bed numbers cone into play. GOOD LUCK! Ps i went to the Patient liason office in the end to get support and get the op rescheduled !

I had to wait two weeks from consult to surgery. I was not getting bad attacks, though, just some pain and bloating. I was on a no fat diet to prevent attacks and it kept things at bay till the surgery.

I was told a UK pre-op is valid for 3 months and your date can be within that period. I waited 6 weeks after being offered a cancellation for the next day after 4 weeks which I was unable to take.
Good luck.

i was so lucky! my pre op assesment was 11th June and i had my surgery 1st July. I was asked if i was prepared to go on standby and i agreed.
I did call my surgeons secretary a few times to chat about cancellations, I was very lucky.
Good luck
