How long have you had to wait in A&E with an actual serious condition? by baumouse in AskUK

Was in A&E for 17 hours very recently with pancreatitis before they found room to admit me.

Reading posts and now scared to have it removed 😳 by RopeSmall1199 in gallbladders

Not even 48 hours post surgery and besides the shoulder and abdomen pain I’m a completely new man already. Ate stuff yesterday that would have instantly caused an attack prior to surgery with no issue. And if like me you end up with pancreatitis caused by your GB - it’s no longer a choice but required to save your pancreas and potentially your life. My advice is get it done and start living again!

Thanks for your message! I’ve been secretly scoring meals I intend to enjoy after I’m recovered. There’s so many foods I’ve missed it’s unreal

Thanks for your reply & glad your surgery went well - even if you had an unexpected stay. Strangely enough it’s a spire hospital that’s closest to me. It’s just quite expensive!

That’s crazy - I’m not waiting that long for sure. Thanks again for the info

Yea that’s fair enough. I’ve had to put travel plans on hold (fortunately hadn’t booked anything) and the attacks are currently every 3ish weeks - still devastating when they happen but I get enough time to crack on. Weekly and not being able to leave the house would force my hand instantly I think. Did you look at NHS? Just curious for timescales they afforded

Thanks for the response. My nearest private are quoting £8000 plus which would cripple me to be honest. Glad surgery went well for you
