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! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
