Timings & process

Hi everyone,
I’m very early on in this process and still doing as much research as I can.
I have my first initial consultation in Bristol on 13th Feb with Faye and was just wondering what happens after this?
Do I then meet with a surgeon to discuss?
Also, how long did it take for each of your appointments up until surgery day?
Just wondering how long it may be until I could possibly have the op from my first consultation?
Thanks x

Hi Becky, I had my 1st consultation on 16th Feb at this they just discuss why you want the procedure how your going to fund it what outcome you want ect. 2nd consultation was 11th Oct but I decided to get a second opinion with a different surgeon which was on 9th November, I booked my date had my pre op on Dec 20th and had surgery on 22nd jan hope this helps x

Hey Becky
I had my first consultation December 10th, my patient coordinator said she could fit me in just after Xmas if I wanted too but I decided to see the new year in.
I chose Jan 27th (yesterday!) So on December 27th I seen my surgeon and they fit me in with the nurse too on the same day. They have to give u a two week “cooling off period” after the surgeon so I booked the date with a deposit payment to secure it but hadn’t made any payments for the actual breast surgery. The deposit for the date is refundable too (Not sure how far in advance though) after the two weeks had gone i made the final payments and I kept in contact with my patient coordinator, she rang me all the time when I wanted to ask questions about the sizes ECT. Overall I’m so glad I did it with 6weeks of my first consultation:)

Thank you both! Wow, Rebecca, that was really quick! Who was your surgeon?
It would be amazing to get it done that quickly x

Sorry I just read mine back my 1st meeting was 16th sept not Feb! Don’t know why I wrote that sorry x

My surgeon was Dr Giannis at London Fitzroy. I was based at Nottingham clinic and Ria the patient coordinator is amazing! It just doeneds on who you want to go with, I can’t fault Dr Giannis though and all the team at London Fitzroy were great, especially the anethisist I had a hundred questions for him and he was so patient lol xx

Hi Hun I had my first consultation in April 2017 and them had my op 14 June 2017 so wasn’t long for me xxxx
