I've been waiting over a year for life saving surgery. I was finally given a date for 31st August then they changed the date twice, switching my appointment with somebody else and then telling me they'd made a mistake with dates. Finally, 14th September (so tomorrow) was confirmed and I've undergone all of the pre operative tests and assessments, made arrangements for the children, XP secured the time off work.. only for them to text me just now and say the surgery has been cancelled due to a bed issue.

I called the admissions coordinator who has been absolutely terrible throughout and told him that I plan on turning up tomorrow morning and won't be leaving.

I read on here thats what somebody's father did in the same situation and he got his operation.

WIBU to give it a go?

Sorry if I seem dramatic, I just cannot endure this utter shit any longer 😭

@Letsgetouttahere2023

My dad is currently not much better than housebound waiting for an operation. He would love to go private but that is not a feasible option financially for many other people unfortunately.

If you had bothered to read all of OPs replies she cannot afford to do so

Hi op. How are you getting on? xxx

DaisyDreaming · 03/11/2023 23:56

I’ve been hoping you’ve had the surgery too

LINDAHOAD · 09/11/2023 16:26

you need to see a manager and explain that you want a date when the operation will take place -
and that it has to take place no more cancellations. it is not fair on your nerves and family.
