Advice please

Hi
I’ve had my first consultation and am booked to see Mr Mounir at the beginning of July, I’m going to pay my deposit and book surgery this week but I’ve just read on someone else’s post they were told they had to wait 6 weeks due to the fact the doctors had said they’ve been referred to counselling for depression. I don’t suffer with depression but I have been to see my gp before with anxiety. Is this going to be an issue? I can’t undersgand why it would be to be honest but it’s got me panicking I may have to wait and I’ll be beyond devestayed! Also don’t want to pay my deposit to then lose it. Any advice please? Has anyone else experienced this? Xx

I meant wait 6 months not weeks. Xx

Hey, i wouldn’t pay your deposit until you’ve spoken to your surgeon, as MYA are very strict when it comes to anything like that, they need letters from your GP to ensure your stable for surgery some like to wait 4-6 months until your more settled, see what your surgeon says first and go from there, have a read through the forum as there have been quite a few posts, I went elsewhere for that reason xx

Thanks for the reply 🙂
There isn’t really any real reason my gp would say I’m not fit for it but it just got me panicking. The issue in waiting until I see the surgeon is, the dates will go and I’ll have a longer wait. I’m so impatient! Lol.
What exactly is it they want from my gp as I’ve no idea what I’m asking for.
Where did you go for your second ? Xxx

I’m sure your GP will be ok, but yeah it’s hard when you want it done, I needed mine done as I going abroad in September and wanted them completely settled by then, I think it takes a while for the letter and sometimes you have to pay your GP for it, don’t want to pay your deposit then it all takes too long and you loose your date if that makes sense, I can’t say who I went with or mya will delete the comment, I’ll add you as a a friend and message you xx

Hey! I have a history of anxiety with depression & only in May was I referred to therapy, which I refused! Mya nurse asked for more info on this, my gp write a consultation out to say I didn’t go to therapy & I feel better in myself. The nurse has now signed it off & is happy with the words from gp, I know each persons history is different but I wouldn’t worry too much! Xx

Thanks for all the responses.. I was offered counselling due to anxiety. No depression though. I’m hoping it will be fine as I’ll be having my surgery the end of July. I’ve already written to my gp and asked for something in writing to say I’m for surgery but they take there time with these things so will have to just wait and see.
I’m getting far too ahead of myself but I’m just so excited!! Xx
