Long waiting list for op

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi everyone hope your all doing well.

I was just wondering how long you post op ladies have waited for your date of your hysterectomy? I had my pre op assessment almost 4 weeks ago. I rang the hospital to see it they had a date yet and they said I'm not on the list at all yet(up until the end of March!) as there is a long waiting list. Seems odd to me especially as I've had the pre op assessment. Also wondering if these assessment have a shelf life as health issues can change.

      Thanks Caroline. That's how long roughly I thought I'd be waiting...no such luck though. I live on the outskirts of London so that's probably why the waiting is so long.

      Take care

    I was in clinic 09 September 14 They had been watching me for over year with scans every 3 months left overy had cyst - I was told team will have a meeting about you I think it's time overy is removed we will get in touch with you after. I didn't hear back the middle week in November  was seeing the nurse at my GPs medicine check, told her I had not heard back from the hospital, hopeing she would phone for me but she give me the Consultants secretary phone number, took me a week to get the courge to phone I phoned 1st December, Was told I was on the list for surgery it was planned for early in the new year, I started asking questions secretary said she would get a senior nurse to phone me, About half an hour later got the phone call asked what I wanted to know presumeing I was having left overy & cyst removed at the end I asked would I be going home the same day she answered "oh no you are booked for Total hysterectomy with bso" it was a shock. First Appointment 06 January 15 cancelled, second Feuary cancelled 16 March cancelled. 23 March 2015 had operation

      Hi Judy., so it really can go on forever!!!! So your nearly a year post op. Hope all is ok now.

      Also, Judy or anybody else readng this, a year ago I was anaemic. My hemoglobin levels are now normal, but my ferritin (iron stores) are quite low, although

      on the up now, slowly, I am always cold (apart when I'm having a hot flush). Does anyone else feel like this if they have low ferritin?
