The only travel warning I have seen or heard about relating to Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada have been to exercise caution if traveling at night.

Anyways it is your choice. I would gather as much information as possible if I was you regarding any place you choose to have surgery including Mexico.

ee cheri that does sound scary. im so conflicted. Im not going anywhere right now. I did find a place in houston that does it for 7900.00 Thats a pretty good price. They seem to be well known in the area also. I have alot more reseach to do before i make the decision. Thanks for everyones opinions and posts.

That figure is total deaths related to the cartel. How many were actually involved in the drug trade and how many were tourists?

hmmm good question. I watch a show on i think discovery the other day "mexican drug war" It did speak of Tijuana alot but they also mentioned that they dont bother tourist because they like the tourist because they help econically and spend money. I dont know. Im just going to wait until i feel comfortable with either here or there i guess. I dont want to make a rash decison,plus i still need to come up with funds for either place. I kind of wanted to know what amount i was needing but i guess ill just shoot high for now. 001_huh.gif its so interesting the very strong and opposite views people are giving me reguarding to go mexico or us. Im taking both into consideration right now. ahhh so confuesing!

Does it really matter what nationality they were? They are people. The tourist can't spend their money if the stores are closed as many are. But I am giving up. If you decide to go to Mexico please be careful it really is dangerous. May God protect you and all who decide to go. Good luck to you.

What I was saying that quoting that over 30,000 people have been killed in the drug wars needs to be put in persepctive. That number can be used to account for deaths over a period of 20 years. A high percentage could account for the actual people involved in the cartel themselves.

The US probably has similar numbers of people killed while involved in the drug trades if you spread it to the beginning of problems with drugs. Yes there are innocent people killed and get caught in crossfire but to quote that over 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico makes it seem that you are insinuating that they were all tourists there just minding their own business.

Did you read the part that said “4 Years”? We will just have to agree to disagree.

      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.
