Re: My name is Sue- to sue

[Guest guest]

-Hi Sue, just to add to what suzy from the Uk said. I had my

surgery through the NHS and found that they were very good, except

for a long wait, however as i was only 17 when i had surgery the

treatment pre op was a while longer to allow for growth. Im not

sure about surgery on the nhs above the age of 18 whether or not

there is any cost incurred. I guess i was fortunate enough to have

my op before i got to 18. I was told that my op would have cost

around £30K though im not sure whether this includes the 5years of

treatment pre op or not.

hope this helps.

kind regards
