For my first two operations I had the pre-op one week and the operations within the next ten days. Last year I had a pre-op in January/February time and was on the operation list for May. When covid hit and everything then got cancelled I had a second pre-op in October and was in for my op in November. I think there’s usually only a small number of weeks between the pre-op and the operation but a pre-op is valid for longer.How soon before an op do you have your pre op? Could she have had it already and be recovering?
Do we think she’s having it on the nhs or has paid to go private (I recall she was looking up the cost before as she didn’t want to have to wait)?
ETA - all the above is for the NHS. Who knows for any private work!
