If you are using Dr Kelly & booked direct through his office I probably would. I know yhe primary reason he sited for ceasing the use of outside coordinators was that he felt they were getting more than he felt they should. I'm to understand that he is once again using outside coordinators along with his in house.

If you booked with an outside coordinator, I'm sure their fee is sufficient.

I can understand tipping the drivers, and did so myself when I had my surgery. I wouldn't tip the coordinators though. Most coordinators, whether in-house or through an agency are already paid for the services they provide. Nothing additional is expected.

I think it depends. My Cordinator Trish, went beyond any Cordinator I've ever experienced, and I've had plenty. She became not only the medical Cordinator, but the tour Cordinator, the christain Cordinator, the PS Cordinator and much much more. Once home we sent a $100 restaurant gift Certificate to her and her family. She spent 4 full days with us and they deserved it.

      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.
