    As you are self certifying right now then you don't have a diagnosis of what is wrong so the surgery cannot say that they definitely will be able to backdate a fit note. I would say that if you are deemed unfit to be at work that they will do just that but you will not know until you see the doctor.

    Best thing to do is contact your employer and explain the situation to them - it sounds like you feel you are not fit for work so are you intending on going into work to then go off again, or hope to be sent home? I'm not sure what kind of illness you have.
