Awaiting my second lap wanting to go private any suggestions for surgeons/ gynae’s in London

It’s been almost a year Of absolute agony half of that was trying to get a referral from my Male doctor , as I have other health issues was another excuse for him to disregard my case knowing my full history was diagnosed almost 8 years ago but like many was diagnosed very late .

I was so deflated to fight but I will need to complain as he did say I was not in enough pain to be referred basically last summer . I went back months later and was referred tbh I still had to convince the man . Fast forward finally speak to my gynae on the phone felt it to be a little rushed face to face wouldn’t be for a few months, for surgery they had no idea .

They (gynae) informEd me that I could see them quicker privately Opposed to wait,

Was not clear what I’d get out of that apart from a examination as main points were covered briefly on the phone , as the demand is much higher now I felt more help support was being reserved for private appointments that’s the impression I got from the gynae , other than that they covered some of my other concerns really well especially with fertility as I’m a newbie

I know when it’s especially bad when I can’t walk properly exercise and in constant pain , treatment well the pill doesn’t work I’ve made changes to my diet looking at other pain relief options . I have a cyst on the left size that feels like an iron ball is attached to it .

If anyone has any recommendations for private doctors/ gynaecologists / surgeons That specialise in endo in London or U.K. .

I can’t afford it but can’t bare to wait so don’t see any other option

I’m guessing the wait will be over a year for surgery. I’ll chase it up to find out

Thanks for reading

Hope everyone is well
