I was out running again after less than two weeks following my recent hernia operation performed by Mr. Shaun Appleton. (Not bad at the young age of 68). Mr. Shaun Appleton is an excellent surgeon, who knew how to deal with my old scar tissue left at site by another from a proctectomy operation 4 years prior. He also understood my concerns over my sensitivity to opiates, which lower my BP at every operation and came to my aid, reacting quickly with drugs post op. I felt listened to, understood and in very good hands. He is a very pleasant man and has the skills to do an excellent job. My scar is healing nicely and internally all is as it should be. I only needed two weeks off work, doing gentle walking to start with, happy to be back to jogging again. I highly recommended Mr. Shaun Appleton, so glad we chose him, he is a great surgeon who has a excellent team backing him (anesthetist and secretary and the nurses at the hospital were good too). (Quality of overall service was a bit let down by the admin at The Shelburne Hospital and their inability to confirm the date of the operation which then impacted my personal arrangements and short notice given was given for the pre-op at the Chiltern Hospital ).
