Johanna that is great!!  That made me laugh.  I am not sure how much social activity i will want to do either but i am just trying to prep myself.  I actuallty spoke with someone there today that called to get some intake info and i asked her, she had stated that there is wifi and that the laptop and phone should be fine.  even plugging it in shouldnt be an issue.  i guess we will have to see.  i definitely wont want it the day of, but maybe the day after.  we will see how things go and if i have to wait till i get home, then so be it.  at least i should have a tv and the baseball playoffs start then so, i will at least have something to keep me occupied when my wife isnt there.  Thanks again and i look forward to walking, peeing, pooping and farting!  just wish i could say the same for my wife looking forward tome doing that!!  lolol

Sorry - wanted to add - I had no desire to talk on the phone or do anything social during my stay - all I focused on was walking, peeing, pooping and farting - not even kidding LOL!

Ok so I know I am not even 6 months out yet but i am way obsessed with plastic surgery.  Has anyone found any info on resident programs or anything like that?  I know I will need (want) PS in the future but I cannot justify spending so much money on myself.  I know I will do it anyway, but I plan on going through a residency program.

Anyway I was just wondering what others have heard of.

Hi everyone. I had surgery on January 25th and have already surpassed my goal of 180 and currently sit at 172.. uping my calorie intake now to try and maintain the weight. yes im struggling to stay put.

I'd just bring both (don't forget the cell phone charger) and play dumb about the electrical.  In my mind, odds are nobody is going to say anything to you.  I believe they do have wifi -- they do bedside electronic charting there and have "things" hanging from the ceilings in the halls for the computers (OK, I'm not technical, can you tell?).

Good luck to you!
