:blink: Does anyone happen to know if I can use a striaght talk phone from Jesusalem Hospital and the recovery house? The phones website says straight talk uses Verizon towers, you may have some signal just over the border. Thanks, Holly

Call your cell phone provider. I actually changed my plan to include Mexico (I have Verizon) and when I got there my phone didnt get reception 80% of the time. I ended up using Skype (on my laptop) to call (not video calls) Verizon to fix my phone. It was frustrating. My laptop came in handy when I was in Mexico.

The recovery house has wifi and a landline you can use to call the states at no cost. If you plan on using your cell phone, change your plan to include Mexico, you can cange it back later. The cost without the Mexico plan are ridiculous. Your laptop with Skype, magic jack or any other VOIP works great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
