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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
