Desperate for Help - Urgent Ileostomy Hernia Surgery Delayed - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation:
The original poster is seeking advice on how to deal with an urgent need for ileostomy hernia surgery, as the surgeon has advised a 12+ month wait, causing extreme pain and limited mobility.

Advice and Insights:
- Urgent recommendation to immediately go to a hospital emergency room for examination by a physician.
- Consider seeking a preliminary diagnosis from a private hospital to ensure the urgency of the situation is acknowledged.
- Lodge an official complaint to establish seriousness about the situation, despite potential contempt from healthcare providers.
- Consider the option of seeking surgery in a different country, such as France, where it may be cheaper and done quickly in a clean hospital.
- Encouragement to gather as much information as possible to make informed decisions about the next steps.
