Can You Contact Your Family From The Marriott In Tijuana? How Will This Work?



Recommended Posts

Was anyone able to use the phone at the Marriott to contact their loved ones?

I am sure you can for a charge but I know my Doctor Garcia had a phone where you could call the U.S. for free.

I would not use a hotel phone to call, I did that once in Vegas and got billed 70$ for a 20 minute conversation. Ouch.

If you have a smart phone or an ipod touch or ipad etc, you can download an app like Google Voice and it'll let you make calls for free, it'll work just like a regular phone (you'll have a unique number for your google voice account so people can call you too). You can only set up Google Voice while you're in the US I think though so this will only work if you're actually preparing this ahead of time.

It's something like 2 dollars per minute. I used Skype on my laptop and texted from the Sprint website.for free. The internet at the Marriott is free and high enough quality for.good call quality on skype

I didn't use the phone, i just sent email to my hubby. After i got back to the hotel post surgery, we used our iPads for a little Facetime.

Don't miss the broth at the hotel, it's fantastic!

The Marriot and Mi Doctor Hospital, both have 1800 numbers that your family can call you on, free of charge. My husband called me several times a day and I also skyped with my family daily. :) Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
