I just got my admission time for Monday – 8am! Yay. However I noticed on the email it says there is a dedicated waiting area for chaperones, they can bring iPads etc to keep them occupied. Does this mean just whilst I am in theatre or whilst i am waiting in my room?! It says there could be a wait of up to 6 hours….not sure my hubby would appreciate been sat alone for 6 hours haha. Thanks x
I got my email yesterday too for Tuesday and showed my boyfriend it and he read that bit and was raging lol hoping it’s just for when in surgery surely. X
It’s just why your in surgery I was at the Preston hospital they can stay in the room until you go to theatre then they got asked to move to the day room as soon as your brought back to the room the nurse went and got my partner x
I had my op at Fitzroy on Monday – it’s just an option if your chaperone wants to stay with you. My chaperone waited with me until all the admission stuff was done and then left and came back later x
@clairelou29 depends on the hospital I think but he can stay with you until you go to theatre definitely. If you have a single room to yourself he’s allowed to stay in there, if it’s a shared room he has to leave and sit in the waiting area or go out and come back later. xx
@mrsk think it depends on the hospital. I don’t think there was any shared rooms in London, but I’ve heard of 2 girls sharing a room before not sure what hospital xx
