How long op after pre op, in staffs?

[Booboo08]

Got my pre op app. First one on 27th October.

How long approx will op be afterwards?

Doing my mum a supra birthday party that's costing me over 300 quid on 20th November, for been so supportive . so will it clash?

gutted if so. I know op is more important just would of loved to attend her do thats costing a lot of pennies

thanks in advance

I was told it had to be within three months or blood tests etc are not valid after that

Yes I did that and was fed up. Now I have pre op but it's a telephone one?

didnt know they did telephone ones. not sure how they will check your blood pressure and do mrsa test etc.

letter says to book a walk in app at North staff's or Haywood within 5 days after call. weird eh xx

[dawntildusk in reply to Booboo08]

maybe they will go through your medical history over the phone to save time when u go in. hope it all goes well for u x

I had a pre-op in January and had my surgery in August last year. So it was just over 7 months for me! Just depends how busy the waiting list is and if your are a priority or not!

Last year I had my pre op then 2 or 3 days later had my surgery! This time they told me it will be no more than 3 months!

Hope you get your date soon.
