Thanks sarahlou. Jess.xxx

Thanks penny. What I am going to make sure happens is that people with clips get better aftercare not just checked at one month then three before being discharged. Everybody needs aftercare not just to be brushed under the carpet. And I think that once this appointment is over I think I am gonna start travelling to other hospitals and make sure they do the same. Jess.xxx

Hi everyone my appointment has come through going back to the same hospital that operated on me in 2002. It is on 20th September so alĺ is good hopefully it will alĺ turn out ok. Jess.xxx

Hi there yes planned ops are easier to recover from. Try not to worry. I know its easier said than done but it really is. When my hair was down you couldn't tell so they didn't take to much hair. It is a more invasive op but I feel I recovered fairly quickly physically. Its the mental part that takes longer worrying and things I went in for my planned op on the Thursday had op on Friday was home following Thursday not bad really. I was also pregnant two weeks later. Had six months off work but I had two ops and the first one had ruptured. Hope it alĺ goes well. Jess.xxx
