I have an appointment next Monday, my referral went astray so further behind than I should be!
not sure as yet what the outcome might be, but my doctor went straight for Gyne due to ongoing bladder problems and she seemed unsure as to what was actually hanging down!
however dh has an appointment Wednesday and should get the go ahead for his new hip, I feel his surgery is the most important, but if offered my, as I suspect surgery, earlier should I go for it and if so what is the earliest I can expect to be up and running?
Sorry if this is a bit of a wooly question but just trying to get some things worked out in my head!

I live in Birmingham and had prolapse repair ten weeks after seeing the consultant.
You will not be able to drive for a few weeks, until you can do an emergency stop without pain.
You won't be able to lift for three months, so if your husband needs tucking out of the chair... you won't be able to help him.
I suggest you wait until hubby is up and running before you have your op as you are going to need help with driving, vacuuming, lifting etc

yes I will take a back seat and let my husband go first, at the minute he can't walk and I cant lift so we make a right pair, but together we muddle along.

I had a&p repair in Northamptonshire. I waited just over 4 months from seeing consultant to surgery but I think that was a bit longer than normal.

Jan 2016 saw doctor, consultant not available. Again. They fitted a pessary. I cried as i wanted to be normal. They said would refer to consultant & write to me. Later that day pessary fell out.
Feb 2016 received letter. My consultant cant do the surgery i need. They have reffered me to another. Appointment will follow. Now waiting for appointment with the other consultant.
Not read the other posts but its a long drawn out process.
I have both recrocele and cycstocele.
