"Surgery postponed"

I’ve been suffering for over 15 months now with multiple gallstones. This came to a head in November 2020 when the pain became unbearable and I was admitted to hospital. 4 days spent in hospital and during that time I was informed that my gallbladder needs to be removed as I had so many gallstones along with an infection.

From November I’ve had 5 or 6 (can’t remember exactly) more visits to hospital due to the pain. I’m on the urgent waiting list but I’m not being updated or nothing. Well the only thing I’m constantly told is that they aren’t doing gallbladder surgery due to the pandemic.

While I respect this decision, I don’t understand how someone else I know who had the same thing but ‘NON URGENT‘ was able to get their surgery and I’m constantly left in the dark. I’m in constant pain everyday without fail. I’m hardly eating due to everything I basically eat is causing severe pain. I am suffering greatly mentally as I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety and all this pain has increased that dramatically.

All I’m looking/asking for is clarity and to be given some hope that this surgery will be done ASAP!!
