I’ve had a similar issue with my surgeon being on leave at the moment. No idea she was on leave and no back up surgeon to see. It’s not an urgent issue but I was advised to check back in with her about some issues I’m having post surgery. It’s more that I have no where to turn, then it is about seeing her specifically if that makes sense. I did try another surgeon who had covered her last time but they’re also on leave, go figure. (I am seeing someone about it so not to worry).

Good luck with everything. Jen xx.
