Hi,

Has anyone had an op during this time? Can you still have family come and see you?

Thanks

Aww, did ur last op go OK? Was there any complications that meant u had to stay in longer? Iv hap 9 laps my last 1 was a hysterectomy due to having stage 4 endo and adenomyosis I had no other option but to have it and even with that I was only kept in 1 full day, all my laps I was out after a few hrs, fingers crossed u do get at least 1 visitor x

My last op was a couple nightmare to be honest. I went down late for my operation so I was not back on the ward till about half 7 so they kept me in because of that then I think they had to keep me the next day too.

Hello if your from the UK well I'm in Blackpool, no visitors allowed there not even allowed to bring belongings to the ward here just to drop of at reception in main hospital. Iv got abdominal hysterectomy in 13 days my hubby's not even allowed to walk down to theatre with me or come in to the hosp to collect me that's both private and nhs at the mo xxx
