Thanks Dawn!
Well, my surgeon is on holiday until 1st november, but I telephoned his stand-in secretary (his usual secretary is also on holiday) and had a little moan about everything, saying I thought it should be sorted out at the private hospital instead of making me wait 6 months for an nhs appointment, seeing as I paid all that money for an operation that hasn't really worked.
Sooooo, just have to wait and see what happens now...............
