Hi everyone

I've decided to have the colposuspension operation can people let me know from the time they got a referral from there NHS consultant to how long it took to go into hospital... just a rough estimate would be good.. waited nearly a year for the injections is it going to be a long wait...

Thanks Debbie x

    It was about 3 months for me. My understanding is that if the NHS can’t carry out the operation within 18 weeks of referral they are heavily fined so will often send patients to the private sector to avoid this. Good luck!
