Hi all.  I’ve finally got a date for my 20th Aug although I did have to contact the PALS service at the hospital to get a date as no one seemed to have any idea. I am currently doing pelvic floor exercises and trying to drop a bit of weight.   Any other advice ?  Also how long after the op could I possibly fly as after the last few months a holiday would be a good tonic.      Thanks Simon 

  • Hello Simon ( 

    Good luck on 20 August - I hope all goes well for you.

    The general rule is not before 6 weeks for flying and if the recovery is good there should be no issues.

    Kind Regards - Brian.

  • Thanks Brian.  As always cheers for your reply.   I’ll most probably wait a bit longer and go nearer Xmas.   

  • Hello Simon ( 

    I have been in Turkey for a week with 4 more to go - it's a nice 38c here today. Sunglasses.

    There's nothing like a holiday so I hope your surgery goes well and you can get away soon.

    Kind Regards - Brian.
