Hi Shasga. It can vary depending on where you are. The best way to find out is ask your consultant’s secretary or GP as they should be able to give you a rough idea.

I went to see consultant in June, had ultrasound and mri, which picked up stage 4 endo, fused bowel, cysts and fibroid and was referred to a specialist centre and prescribed prostrop. I had a Meeting with the specialist in October. I am on the list for a full hysterectomy with bowel resection and bowel surgeon present. Was told it would be around a year from referrel to specialist centre for my surgery so I'm looking at august. It depends where you are bases, I'm Bristol.

Hi, I was told the aim is for treatment within 18 weeks following news that I needed a laporoscopy. However, I was also told that they frequently miss this cut off due to high demand and waiting lists.

Hi, I had similar situation to yours. Once I had my consultant appointment, at the specialist endometriosis centre, waited 10 months for a surgery date. I was told it could be 1-2 years but I called the bookings team after my pre-op assessment and asked to be contacted if there were any cancellations. That’s how I got my date earlier, they called me and offered a cancelled spot which was in 2 weeks. Good luck!!
