Since I am traveling alone I though I might bring my laptop. Would this be an issue at the border? And would it be safe with my other belongings while I am having surgery? I will go straight to hospital (Nova) so I am not sire how my belongings would be handled?

I don't think so. I also had my iPad. No problems.

I am traveling alone also, although not to mexico. My hospital has no problem with small stuff, phone, charger, kindle. did not bring up laptop but it would be nice to have. easier than using an iPhone. Yet even if they can keep it safe during surgery, who will watch it while I am asleep? i cant handcuff it to myself. A phone i can put in a pocket.

I am open to ideas.

I took mine. MiDoctor has a safe but it wouldn't fit my laptop in it.. My coordinator in mexico held my laptop for me while I was in surgery.

      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.
