Just spoke to Mr El Hasani's secretary and found out that i am 177th on the waiting list, probably means i will not be having my op this year
Wow, I just signed the forms and got put on the waiting list on Wednesday. We asked how long we'd have to wait and the nurse said it's about a year! Who do u phone to find out my waiting list number?

My appointment was at 11.30, what time was yours?What time was your appointment? I was there weds too to sign my forms.
well i was there at 10.30 on the same day and i first saw dr el hasani in june of last year and star said a year,but the sec said 3 years xxx so fingers crossed she is wrong but she said he is only doing 6 ops a month compared to 35 a month that he was doing last year ,i asked if it would change and she said she didnt know soooooooooo fingers crossed and there is 200 plus on the waiting list xxxOh star said about that! I was there then, did u find it helpfull? I knew most of it from on here but It makes it seem more real and one step closer everytime I get a letter or go to a appointment!!

That sounds better, I guess with these type of things u just have to hang in there and hope it's sooner rather than later! The nurse, star, who said a year actually does the op's with him so I believed her but then obviously the sec knows his where abouts!Hello! I am afraid I don't know too much about the NHS journey as I was told I wouldn't be able to go on it as although my BMI was over 50 I didn't have any co-morbidities...... so, I scrimped and saved and went private.....anyways, I thought I would let you know that after a bit of research I have worked out that Mr El-Hasani does perform at least 2 bypasses a day at least 2 or 3 days a week for the NHS so maybe you can work it out from there? For instance, if he performs 6 ops in a week then that's at least 312 a year so I am sure your waiting list number doesn't seem so bad now - hope this helps xx
