Who won't tell my GP? (England)

[Bisscuitss]

I'm in England and would like to try the injections. I don't have any health issues and I would rather my GP not be sent a letter or informed about my taking WLI. Which provider doesn't require GP knowing? TIA

@Bisscuitss I am getting mine from my local pharmacy (they have a sort of 'clinic'). I pay for the pens privately, it's the same pharmacy where I pick up my prescriptions.

Honestly lot of drama about nothing .

yes you gp should be made aware .

There are side effects - you may need medication that does get effected by medication .

reality is you might think your reasons are fine .. however to prevent people from hiding for other reasons yes it should be just be mandatory .

Give a fake GP address

As an anaesthetist that's a v daft idea. As an absolute minimum keep a card on you at all times so if you come in unconscious then we'd know.

They put you at significant risk of aspiration (vomiting as you go off to sleep which in your lungs is often fatal. I've recently had a v young lady die of it, not WLI related, I'm v trauamatised by it). We have to use different drugs and change the way we get people off to sleep to reduce their risk of this happening if they're on these meds

They make no difference what so ever to your 'vitals'

I think all providers send a standard letter to your gp, which probably just gets uploaded to your record by admin staff. Very much doubt a busy gp is going to even notice.

Honestly it's a good thing that your GP is informed

OP am I right in assuming you either not obese or have a history of mental health/disordered eating?
