We're really sorry that the swelling you've experienced following your operation has left you in quite a lot of discomfort. Although I can only appologise for the wait, both when your operation was first cancelled and then when you weren’t able to see a consultant straight away, I hope that the swelling reduces and that our team will be able to reassure and provide a solution in future consultations.
