Do you have to go to your gp to get a letter? Started by: Samantha

The nurse did blood tests with me pre op.
She also emailed my doctor asking for full medical history and I’ve had to keep ringing up the doctors chasing it up. They will need it before they go ahead with the surgery xx

I spoke to my pc on Saturday because I’ve seen the same sort of stuff on here, she said I don’t need to do anything the only time they have problems is when people aren’t honest when they fill in the medical history forms at your first consultation so the letter comes back with stuff they aren’t aware of, she told me I don’t need to make an appointment or ask my gp for a letter they do it all for you. Hope this helps xx

oh my pc said they wouldn’t go ahead without a letter faxed over of full medical history, its weird how everyone gets told different xx

I’ve been reading a lot of stuff like this on the forums, I’ve contacted my PC at the Leeds clinic to see if I need one so I can get it sorted without leaving it too late but ever since I have paid my deposit no one has got back to me. Im due to see the surgeon again on the 2nd Feb & have my pre op on the 6th Feb and not been told anything about a letter. But then people have been told they need on at their pre op and its been too late to get one so their op date has to be rescheduled. Is there anyone else at Leeds clinic that hasn’t been asked to get a GP letter? Im worried now and really upset with MYA for ignoring me. x

I’m at the Leeds clinic my pc is Katy xx
