No. Mine changed the moment I crossed the boarder. I have AT&T. But the hospital and hotel had wifi. So I just kept my phone on airplane mode to avoid additional cost. I downloaded a free txting app that I could use on wifi.

Call about adding an international plan. The last time I checked it was pretty pricey for txt and outrageous for cellular data and calls.

I have sprint and it was super pricey to add anything to use here. I set my phone to sprint only and literally stopped working at the border. I have skype on my computer and the wifi at the hospital and hotel work fine for it. Also through sprint they have a texting service you can use through the website for free.

I used my cell phone but turned off the data so my phone wasn't constantly checking for emails. My phone bill was not too bad for the convenience - I did use the free wifi in the hotel and clinic.

You can text on Kik for free. Wifi in the hotel was very bad for me. Couldn't get my laptop to work every time. Turn roaming off!!! The wifi in the hospital was great, and they will let you get calls:) I think I even called home after surgery.

You could get a throw away phone to use while there. Roaming is super bad!!! Turn it offffff

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
