    I have booked in with my surgeon for a BA on 14th April, I was on anti depressants early last year which I got a letter from my doctor and a copy of my medical history to cover but in my medical notes it says my doctor told me to go for counselling (which I never wanted) but as it was said on my medical records they want proof I haven’t been in counselling for 6 months however I don’t have proof as no one would have record of me as I never signed up for any, I rang my doctors and they have issued a letter to say they discussed counselling with me but I felt it was not needed. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue? I am going for my pre op tomorrow and will take my letter but any help would be great! Thank you!

    hiya! i am worrying about the same issues, i had medical problems with stomach pains but no diagnosis, i recently have had no symptoms for the first time in 2 years and not needed any meds or doctors appointments, put weight on but i had to see counsellors in the past like you did and i worry it will cause my op to be moved, even though i am absolutely fine now. my pre op is on Thursday, and i dropped a letter into my doctors to contact MYA and my surgeon if they have any concerns but i have heard nothing. i presume that’s good?! haha feel free to add me if you have any questions or just need to talk ☺️ xx

    Yes, my PC called me back in response to my email I sent her, should be okay with the letter from my doctor as they would know if I had gone through with the counselling ☺️ I’m just being super paranoid as I’ve wanted this for so long!

    I’m still having counselling. I’ve booked my op for may and my pc said it’s not a problem so long as I have a letter ftp them stating I’m stable enough to make decisions x
