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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
