Hi there this is my first post. I live just outside Manchester and went to Salford Royal last Friday for my first appointment. I saw Dr Summer, she is very nice and told me I am an ideal candidate for surgery, and she will write to my Doctor to apply to my local health authority for funding, I doubt very much if I get it, I was so exited last week thinking about it. Still, I have another appiontment with her in June so I'll see what she says
