I hope you don't have to wait much longer. Sometimes an operation is cancelled at short notice (for example, the scheduled patient gets a streaming cold a day or two before the op). Hospitals may then approach someone else on the list. If you're in a position to go in with just a day or two's notice, then it's worth checking with the hospital whether you could be on their standby list if they have one - though this might not work as you're having a more complex double procedure. All the best and keep us posted.
