Why won’t they give me a time for my op?

I’ve booked my op and received the confirmation letter. I’ve asked them to confirm what time the op is, as I wanted an early one cos I’m flying home the next day and want plenty of healing time before going up steps on the plane – sounds stupid but it has been on my mind – anyway, they said I’m not gonna know until the day, MYA Manchester. Is this normal procedure?

They cant usually tell you your admission time until a couple of days before – mine is on Thursday and I only found out yesterday. Then its just how you fall in the q to when you get it done on the day x

they tell u 4 days before, they did with me anyway.. and everyone i spoke to said the same xx

I got told admission time a few days before, had to be at manch hospital for 11 but they can’t tell u time of op!I didn’t have mine until 530pm!!xx

They give you an admission time but can’t tell you operating time although you may be able to request that you are one of the first on the list if you ring and explain why? They don’t give you a time because there are so many things that can cause a delay on an operating list x

its normally how early you been told to go i was told to be there at 1 had my op around 3 (manchester) i think! there was some girls that got told to be there first thing 9 ish i imagine and theres were all done before me. what time they told you to be there xxx

my admission at highgate was half 9 , and my op was either 10 or half 10 xx

Eeeeeeekk im in at 7.30 am !! So i must be first on the list … : Im so nervous ! Good luck everyone xxx

:tongue:
