hi kee
Just waiting for app to come through my gp applied for the funding the same time as writing to the dr ,so hopefully will here somethink soon .
was really glad to see someone else seeing dr botha as i was worried perhaps he was a newbie to ops
how long did it take for your funding to come through .
I am worried as i have a lot of medical probs and they might not do op

hi ya jack it took a about 5 months for my fundidng but then my case was forgot about lol but hopefully it wont take u that long keep chasing the funndidng up see im lucky at the mo i have no health probs apart from being over weight so that might have helped me but i have a famley history of hart attacks and strokes so if i carried on i would go the same way but i was told as long as u fit the critira there is no reason u shold not get the fundidng gd luck hun let me know how u get on my pree off has been put off till wensday coming so i will keep u all up 2 date x x x x x x x

Did you or didn't you ?

See the dates of these threads were way back in 2009, so just wondered, did you both have the op as just been granted funding and have St Thomas' down as my chosen hospital
