Hi Kizzy, I have just joined the site and am on Dr El-Hasani's waiting list NHS too. I also went on the list in March so will be interesting to see if we get op same time. I did hear that he does 10 ops a month. He quoted me 2 years but his assitant said 1 year so who knows??? My heart still goes every morning the post comes though!
Hi
I had mine done by El Hasani a year ago but i do know the waiting list has gone through the roof :S, dont despair though, it may well come a lot quicker than that as some people will try and get it done privately rather than wait.
When i went on the waiting list in Dec 2009 they told me a year but after 7 months in July i got a phone call giving me various choices for sept. i actually ended up having the op in Oct so was a 10 month wait overall.
They wont send you a letter with a date for your op they will ring you when they have dates available.
It seems like such a long time and you feel like you have to wait forever then suddenly time goes by and it creeps up on you then suddenly the day is here !!
All i can say is that it will be soooo worth it how ever long you have to wait, im 10 1/2 months post op and ive lost nearly 9 1/2 stone and i feel great !!
I see youre in Welling, im only in Erith so if you wanted to meet for a chat about it all just let me know hun
Life will only get better and better xxxx
