Just been giving an appointment for Monday and I feel like I've won the lottery 🤞🥳

So with everything failing I'm finally getting an appointment in less than a week! Never been so excited my belly has doubled and I now know it's definitely food and drink for sure! It has got to be movement! Hopefully my surgery will get done a lot sooner than a years time! 🤞

Let us know how it goes. I can picture the consultants face with the video diary 😂

I seem to be struggling to get a private appointment to go over questions I’ve thought of. Supposed to hear back last week, then bank holiday, left message today, 🙄. Plan B maybe?

She already dreads my face hahahaha

Ohno really?!!! I just keep phoning daily or if they say they are getting back ring in the afternoon. It sounds intense but when your in pain it's not funny. I know I emailed eventually to say I'm desperate and il try anything as I've had enough and dont want anymore injections! They dont work 😔 so if you can find an email address I would because it's in black and white

Same with GP 😂, they’ve probably started picking straws when they see anything from me 🤣🤣 if they stopped screwing up it would help

Tried emailing the week before, no response 😂. If I can’t get to ask him the questions I’ll go elsewhere. There’s another specialist at a different hospital. Both are around the same distance. I don’t really want to start again, but I don’t want someone cutting in if I can’t be sure they are going to cover everything that’s needed and outcome. This is the second and last time 🤣

That's the thing is starting again and them saying oh it's not endo ...5 years down the line it is! That's why I've stayed put and just keep chasing and yes your right you have to constantly check that it's right because if you dont you wait for nothing. I suppose lockdown has caused a lot of people to go private I hope you get through to them though! Definitely needs to be more specialists!

I’m lucky (sort of 🤣) that gynaecologist diagnosed endo first time I saw him. Lap confirmed and he treated what he could get to and now passed to endo clinic. Now it’s a different consultant and not sure about him. I’ll call again in the morning. If no response I’ll get in touch with the first guys NHS secretary and check he can’t do hysterectomy and any more endo.

If you let them forget you, they definitely will!
