Cancelled

[Barb6374]

My bypass op was meant to be in 2 days time but has been cancelled.

I have a very slight dry cough and they asked me to go Dr's. Just been and everything checked out fine , chest all clear , oxygen levels, temp, everything good.

Nurse rang the surgeon and anesthetist and they said to cancel 😞.

Nurse said they are hoping it will be in a years time 😒 UPDATE secretary said it will not be a years wait as I'm on her priority list x

They’ve delayed a whole year when you were due to be done in 2 days?!?! Surely not? Can you appeal this? I’m so sorry, that’s absolutely dreadful for you xxxx

[Barb6374 in reply to Wollaston]

I've just spoken to the secretary and she said it will not be a years wait. I'm on her priority list. Maybe I should edit my post x

[Chickenlou]

Sorry to hear this (but glad to see your update re. being on the priority list.)

Fingers crossed you get a new date very soon (and your cough gets better quickly.)

[Barb6374 in reply to Chickenlou]

They are hoping for September but as I'm now back on list for original hospital , it means it could get cancelled . Already this week the hospital have cancelled ops because of no beds and covid. Because I agreed to go to a private hospital as an nhs patient you wouldn't get cancellations there , but there's no plans at the moment for the surgeon to go back .xx

[Chickenlou in reply to Barb6374]

Fingers crossed you are offered another date at the private hospital (I responded to one of your previous posts about your having your surgery at the Spire.)

My fiancé only had about 10 days notice for his surgery being at the Spire, so maybe they book the consultants fairly “last minute” and you will be offered another date there (fingers crossed.)

Take care x

Hi, thanks xI had a call today saying the contract with the surgeons and spire ends on Aug 2nd so will have to see if another contract happens for September xx

[MONIREN]

It is so hard when that happens, especially when everything checked out ok. I do hope it gets done sooner than later. All the best! Moni.

[Barb6374 in reply to MONIREN]

Thank you, I'm hoping not to long a wait xx

[Isobel1]

I had mine delayed by 3 weeks, that was bad enough !

[Barb6374 in reply to Isobel1]

They have to give 3 weeks to get over a cough and then at least 2 weeks notice for op , so hopefully by September x

[Isobel1]

Sending lots of HUGS & hope it goes ahead in September xx

Oh Barb I totally know how you feel I went in 2 days before mine & the evening before they cancelled it & sent me home due to no icu bed ..

I was devastated as I was mentally prepared for it so it blew my mind ..

Luckily I was put on the priority list & got my op 3 weeks later

🤞🏼 You get yours soon

Stay strong 💪 xx
