Anyone take a Lyft or Uber or cab to the hospital or home? I know this sounds silly, and I could ask a friend or family member to get me there, but why if it's not needed? They plan on coming and saying hello to me when I'm out of surgery in the hospital and post op at home. I'm just wondering if it's "weird" or a big deal if I just handle it on my own (as long as I'm not driving myself obviously).

Most hospitals won’t release you unless someone comes to pick you up

I took the Metro and then an Uber and I Ubered home. I had people who would have taken me. I think they all assumed someone else was taking me. I actually thought about it a lot. It felt like a meditation. My weight has always been a journey that I was alone in. It felt sad but appropriate that I should do this alone.

Not even kidding, hire a highly recommended dog walker/pet sitter to take you home. Best $20 you'll spend!
