Cell Phone Coverage In TJ Also Electronic Plug in Questions



Recommended Posts

Anyone able to get cell phone coverage through Verizon while in TJ? What should I expect?

Also wondering if I will be able to use my standard plug in devices such as will I need an adapter?

I am probably over analyzing things but I want to be prepared :)

I have Ipad, Iphone, Heating Pad.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry no one has answered you,

I went to MX and they have american plugs, no need for adapters.

As far as cell phones I turned my on airplane mode and left it there, I talked to my family and friends via Whatsapp and Gtalk, I was able to video chat on G talk, even got to watch my kids basketball game that way. The hospital had a phone I could use if necessary.

Good luck you will be just fine!

I downloaded an app called viber. You can make free calls and texts through viber in TJ. You just have to make sure the people you want to talk to also have it downloaded. My patient coordinator told me about it.

I turned my phone to airplane mode. OCC and Marriott both had wifi, so I could communicate through Skype, email, FaceTime, and iMessage (for those that have iPhones)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
