Did you feel like your laptop was safe?



Recommended Posts

I have a new MacBook Pro that I want to take with me to TJ, but my mom is really worried about it getting stolen at the hotel (I am going alone). I could take my old MacBook, but it weighs twice as much and the Skype on it sucks.

Were any of you worried about your laptops at the hotel or hospital?

Nope, never. There's a safe in the room at the Marriott also. I left my iPhones and iPads in the room, no problem. Even at the hospital..

Same here! We had two phones, a laptop and an iPad. We left them in the hotel room multiple times (not even in the safe) when we went out and in the hospital room during surgery while my husband went to eat. No one bothered anything. I never really even gave it a second thought! Lol I probably should have... At least should have used the safe in the hotel room. I mean, it was there, empty, just waiting to be used!! Lol

But I wouldn't worry about it! :)

There was a safe in my hospital room (and the hotel), but I was in Cancun. We didn't use the hospital safe so much since I was always there, but did use the hotel safe. However, I think it would have been OK not to. We kept a do not disturb sign on our door while in the hotel and no one entered.

I have a new MacBook Pro as well. I wasn't worried at the hospital because I didn't even take it out, I was to tired lol. At the hotel, I just put the do not disturb sign up on the door anytime we left.

I mean, you should still be proactive with your belongings, don't just leave it sitting out in your hospital room or hotel if you aren't there.

Also, if you have Netflix you should check it out in Mexico! Their selections are so much better than ours!

Thanks for your feedback, everyone! I have decided to go ahead and take my new one with me.

Everything I owned was left unattended in hospital and safe. Same with hotel. Although, I admit I was hoping someone would steal my laptop so I would have an excuse to buy a new one ;)

I didn't have any problems either. I did not leave anything sit in the open while we went walking at the hospital and also had things tucked away at the hotel. Just like being in the states, use common sense.

      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.
