Question: how much should I tip Ernesto and the nurses? Thanks!

I had 2 different drivers (Ernesto and another weekend driver -one each way). I believe that I gave them $10 each. The nurses I did not tip (just going on that I am an RN and have never been allowed to accept tips).

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thanks everyone! Well, I ate after the hospital and will snack again before 10pm and lights out". I am not really nervous and I think one reason is cause Mom is here. The wind is blowing like crazy!!! It is a beating just to step outside the room but the pool is beautiful!

I will show Mom how to post on here so that she can keep everyone informed...

Thank you to everyone for the last month or so of encouragement and information, even if it was a post to me personally, just everyone taking the time to post and answer questions has been a true blessing!

I can hardly contain myself, lol. You are the first person to have the surgery since I joined the forum. So, it's really exciting that you are keeping in touch. I can't wait to hear from you after. I hope you sleep well tonight and dream about the new you. :ack2:

Anna, don't worry about it! I would not have known either but thought I read somewhere that somebody had done that.

We are getting ready to leave, Ernesto will be here in about 30 minutes!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
