THOROUGHLY LET DOWN BY MYA

I’ve had my BA booked now since 7 February, was originally meant to be South Cheshire with Aurakzai 15 March. Last week I got a call to say it had been changed to Lancashire. Today, I find out from one of the girls on this forum at 4pm today that all ops for 15 March at Preston have been cancelled. I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting for further information and just had a call at 9.30pm from my PC to say soonest they can fit me in is 29 March. I’m absolutely devastated. I chose MYA over Transform because I thought they cared more. 29 March is no good to me as I can’t get time off work and I have fitness instructor exams middle/end of April and need to be able to lift weights and operate machines.

If they can’t fit me in sooner (expecting another call tomorrow) I’m going to have to see if another organisation can fit me in.

I could cry.

Ahhh hun, I am gutted for you. Have they told you why? xx

They haven’t and I don’t even care why to be honest. Because it’s not going to change anything. I should have gone with Transform afterall.

Home they come back to you tomorrow with some better news hun xx

I won’t hold my breath but thanks. x

That’s really awful, and entirely unprofessional especially as you’ve found important information regarding your surgery from this forum rather than directly from MYA or your PC. Thank goodness you’re on the ball, really hope you are ok-am sure they will sort something out for you soon. You should still make a formal complaint and maybe suggest that at the very least you be compensated fiancially/have a big reduction on your bill for the inconvenience and upset and how much it will affect your life now the schedule has been changed. MYA should consider how much girls read this forum, and how such a negative thing happening to you could put so many girls off from using MYA entirely.

Don’t get upset or cry though, am sure they will find a way to sort things out and maybe be able to move you to a different area and cover the costs of travel for you?

Most be really tough though so hope you are ok xx

Thanks so much Rose. I’d already signed up to the chauffeur service so I’ve paid for the travel with them anyway. I’m just going to get on the phone to Transform first thing tomorrow and ask how soon they can fit me in. x

so sorry to hear that lisam. i had same issue, first booked on 24th with dr t, so ive requested for unpaid leave cos im already pre-booked whole month of july for holiday. Basically its all im entitled now since im leaving work to go to uni. Then was asked by pc if can move on 25, i said ok one day adjustment no probs. Then a week after was asked again if it can be changed to 23 cos dr t wont be available that day now. i said cant cos only got 9days off and ive already adjusted it once. so i was asked to see another surgeon, back to start again with consultation. and to see this new surgeon have to travel to leeds instead of manchester and surgery is now in doncaster which is 3hrs away from home. they only offered travel expenses, ive not heard reply yet when i asked for further discount for having to change surgeon. now back to day one again and even further travelling. however my pc is great, she really explained why and very apologetic, she said she’ll ask her manager about discount and im waiting for it. anyways i saw dr k today and offered me a bit different from dr t. and since im offered different, im now back to which one should i chose.my mind was already set on something before with first consultation. but they say dr k is very good too.

anyways sorry to bore u with details but im sure mine is not as bad as what u had, they owe u explanation, apology and they should offer u discount upfront, u wouldnt have to ask for it. the thought of procedure itself, the recovery, the leave and the money we forking out are already enough to worry us about. much more getting mess about without explanation. its ur pc’s job to sort this out for u and make u feel looked after. x

awww lisam, I’m so sorry That must be so upsetting! For them to cancel so close to the operation date is quite unprofessional but I’m sure they had their reasons.

I’ll have my fingers crossed for u tomorrow – hopefully you’ll be able to get your operation done sooner.

Let us know what happens!

God, Poppy, you’ve really been messed about too. And that makes me even more worried that they do this all the time. I’ve been crying my eyes out and I’m just not going to sleep tonight. Good job I’m off work tomorrow cos I’m gonna look like shit. I’m going to text my PC first thing to say I want it sorted first thing in morning cos I doubt I’ll get a call anytime soon. I can’t rest. I just know that they can’t offer me anything soon though. Unless it’s with a different surgeon perhaps. And I wanted to stick with Aurakzai because of the glue he uses. And I’ve gone out of my way to do what he’s told me – put on weight. I bet other surgeons wouldn’t tell me to do that. I’d have been better off with someone else. I feel a right fatty, having put weight on. And that’s before my 6 weeks without exercise. Because of the weight gain I’m feeling less sexy and more self conscious than I ever was and a boob job is meant to make you feel the complete opposite. x

Thanks Thunderkiss! I have little hope left in me now though. x

i didnt know about the weight gain surgeon asked u, i can totally see where u coming from hun, u bending over backwards for this changing ur diet and not able to excercise when ur body so used to it (i only do plenty walking and i feel low when i dont) im really hoping it turns out better for u tomorrow. i saw ur post 9 days to go, then this. cry it out tonight in the bath babe with a glass of wine, so u can have a good sleep ull feel lighter tomorrow and ready to rethink. u need fresh mind to weigh other options available. goodluck sweety. xx

Thanks so much Poppy. x

OMG im so sorry to hear that babe what a joke if you do decide to stay with mya they better give you some money back! i’d be very upset too xx

If they gave me free fillers and botox I might just be persuaded to stay with them….

Or some free lipo to get rid of this bloody fat that I’ve put on especially for Aurakzai

have a word with them babe, you don’t ask you don’t get! and this is VERY bad, they’ve really messed up and they NEED to make it up to you, it looks bad on them xx

Thanks Khanni. Who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ll keep you all updated. x

Oh god hun that’s awful, you defo should be compensated for all this agro and upset they’ve caused you cos like you said it’s supposed to be making you feel better not worse X

Thanks Stacey. I just can’t sleep or eat now. Probably lose the weight Aurakzai told me to put on anyway through this stress. I think MYA just think people can take holidays and change commitments at the drop of a hat. They don’t realise they’re messing with people’s lives and people can’t just piss their work off in this day and age with jobs being so few and far between. x

Definately, what if you have children and other people had arranged time off work to help you look after them and stuff it’s really not on! I can’t believe it took them so long to tell you, some of the pcs do seem to me like there not really arsed as long as they’re getting the money off you, unless I’m talking about money or dates mine doesn’t seem that bothered X

Well, I’ve had practically no sleep. But lots of crying. Look and feel like crap. Lets see what happens today.

Hope you get it sorted hun! Fingers crossed for you xx

Oh no lisa, thats so bad hun. I hope you get it sorted x

Aw Lisa, thats awful what a bloody nightmare for you….. I hope you manage to get it all sorted x

All sorted now Riggers – 18 March. But had a crap night crying and no sleep, thinking I’d been left high and dry. x

so your still on the same day as me? Hope so xxx

i hope your feeling better today hunn, you need a treat, go out and buy something pretty! xx

Thanks Khanni, my boyfriend said ‘come on, we’ll go out and get you some nice new shoes to cheer you up’. But I’m not much in the mood, perhaps another day.

Yes Christine, now on same day as you which I wish I was told last night instead of spending the whole night crying. Still very unhappy about my experience being spoilt though. It will take me a while to get the excitement back, if I do. And now my boyfriend likely won’t be able to be with me for the op as he has to go away 17th. I’m certainly not counting down the days as I have little faith in MYA keeping to their word. x

what hospitals are you girls at? is it the same hospital that they keep cancelling? xx

They keep cancelling lots of different hospitals but yes, ours got changed from South Cheshire to Preston last week. And then this week, we get told operation date of 15 March cancelled altogether. x

Laura…we were originally at south chesire then moved to preston, then canceled but re-arranged for 3 days still at preston

Lisa…. im not sure why your PC didn’t tell you about the 18th, maybe she just wanted to get the facts so not to dissapoint you again, i know what you mean about the excitment, it’s like 10 days but it was 10 days the other day too, when we get back to only having 6 days left again the excitment will hit us even more xxx

I really don’t think I’m gonna get the excitement back. I just want it over with now and have lost all faith in MYA and Aurakzai. Wish I was with someone else. Only reason I’ve stuck with him is because of the glue. Knowing my luck, I’ll turn up next Friday and he’ll say ‘oh, I don’t use the glue anymore, just use stitches like everyone else’. And I don’t agree with him telling people to put weight on either. x
