K.A.B says...
I am writing to thank you and the surgical team most sincerely for conducting a successful procedure on 17th January, and for my excellent post operative aftercare.
We discussed my platelets results and agreed keyhole surgery was acceptable after a precautionary re-test of my blood.
I had no discomfort at all after the procedure other than a light abdominal ache, and I was quickly returned to my private room with regular observations and blood monitoring.
I enjoyed a small evening meal on the 17th and after a further full blood count test my platelet levels were increasing and were back above 130. A pre-op, diet over several weeks of extra eggs, lambs liver and liver plate may well have helped here. I returned home the next day and only required paracetamol for 24hrs.
I was able to return to work after a few days rest, and the small neat incisions have now healed well, and I have planned a relaxing cruise in early February.
Thank you once again, and please pass on my thanks to all staff at the Nuffield too.
