Update from my first post people. Firstly a massive thank you for all of your advice and kind words. I really am in a better place than before, daily exercise, plant based and wholefoods diet and an improving way of looking at things 😊I reeived a letter from hospital this morning about a pre op Echocardiogram, kind of hopefull that this means my surgery is imminent ? Has anyone had this before their surgery and roughly hiw long before ?

Hello :-)

Before my operation I had to go and have a few tests done sorry I cannot remember what they were all called but that was to do with making sure I would be ready and fit enough for the op

A sure sign you are getting nearer is they ask you to go and have a dental check up and you have to get the all clear from that it has a short sell by date on it though been dental so that really means you are getting closer :-)

Hope the op gets done soon as I know the waiting is the worst

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Hi Stevie mine was only a few days before my by pass op. But it was being classed as urgent surgery, so not sure my experience will be the same for you.

Not what you're looking for?
