Hi

[Yvessa]

Hi,
I am new to these forums, have just had funding for surgery authorised by PCT (Buckinghamshire) after GP made an appeal on my behalf.
Have read a lot of posts about the milk diet, what is this? Also, my gp has referred me to Luton and Dunstable. What are waiting times for appointments and surgery like?
How much time have you had to take off of work after the operation?

Sorry for all the questions; it is nice to see people who have been through it sharing their expertise with others.

Generally from the first appointment with L&D to the day you have your operation, is just about 8 months.

The milk diet is a first stage of the L&D process, which is roughly 4 pints of semi skimmed milk a day, 1 sugar free jelly and a oxo cube and not forgetting a multi vitamin tablet per day, no food.
