Hey lads sorry for the lack of contact past few months been mental, Ive actually opted to get it done here in Ireland, only becasue I've been onto my insurance company and they said that they would cover the costs... so happy days, I'm in the process of been to the GP 4 times in past month and awaiting my results of my 2nd lot of blood tests, he's then givin me a refereal letter to a sugeon in Dublin. I dont know whether to post here now anymore as there doesnt seem to be an irish forum. hope you all have had some progress over the past few months?
