Do you not have a follow up appointment? You usually have a follow up appotment around six weeks after your op (a long wait I know). Also after your op the hospital usually give you/or send a note for your doctor (although this is usually very brief). I would make an appointment with your GP and ask them to follow it up for you at the hospital to find out exactly what was found during your operation. You shouldn't have to pay to get what you're entitled to. I had a similar experience with my first op, was told very little. Make a fuss if you have to, it's your right to get answers. Good luck, take care x

Hi

Why do you actually want to know? Which sounds like a stupid question...what I mean is, are you suffering from more symptoms? Has something changed which has made you think about it more?

Also, three years on, it's likely that the situation in there has changed anyway

Make an appointment to see your GP as Jules says, they should be able to go back through your notes on the computer while you're sitting there and tell you exactly what was said

Good luck
