Surgeon outcome

Just got out from my meeting with the surgeon, or the surgeons registrar more specifically. He was a lovely doctor, very straight forward, quite jolly and very pleasant to say I was the last patient of the day. He actually looked at my discharge form from the hospital which made a change. He asked me what tests I had done, what the results were etc...and that was that.

6-8 weeks waiting time. Which is better than it could be, but not brilliant. Our appointment with the FS is September 9th (6 weeks exactly) to discuss post-gallbladder treatment. We go on holiday in 10 weeks...hopefully it will be closer to 6 weeks than 8 so Im not sporting fresh surgical scars in my bikini.

Mixed emotions. Relieved it isnt 18 weeks, disappointed it isnt 3 weeks. I won't be completely happy until I actually have a date set, just have to wait for the letter to come through from the hospital with a surgery date.

Earliest possible start date for IVF looks like November, 13 months after we were told we could start treatment.

  1. I went to my FS in July 2012. Didn't get knocked up until June 2013 after a failed IVF. You will get pregnant. You will beat this. I don't know exactly what you're going through but I hope my story is of a little inspiration.

    Lots of love and hugs.

  2. It does sound slightly better than waiting till 2014. You'll have your surgery, go on holiday, then come back and be ready to start back IVF. Not the plan along, but it's a comeback. Xx
