I booked my surgery through Healthier Weight (in the UK) for the 18th. Paid the deposit and did the paperwork. Then they said I would get a call directly from the hospital about a pre-surgery appointment to take bloods etc. Granted my timeframes are short, but I waited two days and no call.

Got the call this afternoon wanting to see me Monday morning. I can't?! I already have something on Monday morning that can't be moved and that aside, if I wasn't lucky enough to be self employed - what employer would give time off at such short notice?

Apparently they ONLY do these appointments on Monday mornings. So he's going back to speak to a nurse on Monday about doing it another day.

I'm worried this will affect my surgery date, even though I agreed this date with the surgeon myself in person.

I chose this particular date because it works perfectly in terms of working around prior arrangements and running a business and organising doggy child care.

Just needed to rant. I'm nervous enough about the surgery as it is.

Hope you manage to get another appointment. You're paying so they should try and accommodate you if possible. I paid for mine in Manchester and the team have been really good. Keep us posted. Good luck!
