Crossing The Border - Luggage



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

As weird as this may sound, was your luggage ever searched when crossing the border?

I am not looking to do anything illegal per say but just curious since I found a list of things you can bring in and amounts so I was just curious how strict they really are, for example are they really going to search my luggage and take a camera becuase I am only allowed to bring one in.

I just do not want to do cause any problems :)

Thanks in advance!

They did search my luggage coming in. They just kinda peeked in and moved a couple things. No real big deal.

My bags were not searched driving in or out.

TSA was worse than the international border.

I've gotta say it shouldn't be too big of a deal though. Everything I had fit in my carry on.

Thank you all for your responses.

OTR - ha ha I alomst forgot about the TSA ..not looking forward to them.. I haven't flown since 2007 so I am not sure how horrible it really is besides what I have heard on the news in regards getting patted down or going through a machine where they can see all of you haha it will be an experience. I will also make sure to read airline rules to ensure I do not pack anything I am not allowed to have. Thanks for reminding me! :)

      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.
