      I had my op nearly 2 years ago, but they did the same to me. i had my pre op assessment very soon after my initial consultation where i agreed to have RTHR. so i assumed that I'd be having the op very soon even though I'd not been given a date. I waited and waited and heard nothing. when i spoke to my GP i was told to contact the admissions secretary and keep pestering them. by this time I'd given up work as i thought i was going to be laid up for a couple of months.

      eventually after many phone calls to the secretary i was given a date. i think this was to keep me quiet.

      this date was cancelled. i started pestering the secretary again and she was left in no doubt that i was not happy. i was given another date. i asked for assurance that this would not be cancelled. which i was given.

      i think what I'm trying to say is be a nuisance and keep reminding them that you exist. eventually it'll happen and you'll get your op.
