I have been waiting, since 2 nd April, got op date for aug5 th (18 weeks) op was cancelled at the last minute and I’m still waiting, was then told beginning of oct? I was told with rca blockage and severe and moderate on the other two it was more of a priority…I’d be seen within 12 weeks , this didn’t happen. Depends on the severity of patient needs and your hospitals lists. Emergencies take priority of course so it depends on a lot of variables, staffing also plays a part. I'm waiting for Southampton and was told they are always cancelling at the last minute so prepare yourself for this happening . I wasn’t expecting the operation to be cancelled literally as I was expecting to have my pre-med and be wheeled down this was at 3 pm so a long anxious day waiting, very frustrating and lots on this site will say it’s the waiting that’s more stressful so hope your area runs smoother…. Good luck
