How on earth you got surgery at 14 I don't know. My doc told me to basically f*** off twice when I used to have it and I was 16.

You're a very lucky lad, i'll give you that.

im guessing each doctors different and at the end of the day its elective surgery.you're paying them for the service, so with enough persistence im sure you could convince a doctor to give you surgery.. its your own risk getting surgery so early as your hormones are all over the place and there is the possibility of it growing back, you just have to convince your PS that this condition is very detrimental to your everyday life.

Elective surgery? I was under the impression all operations done by the NHS were free.
