I have finally received my referral letter to the surgical team regarding having a stoma finished. How long did people have to wait for their appointment date as I am now desperate having lost all bowel control, and in a situation where I can’t go out. I am going to contact the surgeons secretary tomorrow to make enquiries.
Also, once referred, what tests did you have to have done, and how soon was it before they did the surgery.
Any help would be really, really appreciated.
Thanks, Jo x
I’m so pleased that you appreciated my somewhat unusual term of the medical terminology I much prefer to think of us as plumbing, electrics carpentry and some plastering.
Though my plastering has definitely got some cracks.
Still enjoying myself cracks and all
Keep chatting if it helps
