Safety In Tijuana, Mx

[carpediem2012 7]

Your trip home will be fine... The gas will bug you the most. We spent 8 hrs in the car, instead of four! Traffic was horrific. I was just fine. My friends had to fly... One to Fl and the other to WI. They both had a great trip home!!

I even met a woman from S Africa!

Best of luck

I think what scares me the most is just the Unknown. I don't know what to expect really. I've never been outside the US before so I'm kind of freaking out about it. Not so much right now' date=' but come March I'm going to be a big ball of anxiety I'm sure[/quote']

What questions do you have? I may be able to help:)

Get an app that translates though, I had to.

I'm just worried about making the wrong decision... Like what if something bad happens during surgery? Or even after surgery when I get back home. It's mainly stuff with having the sleeve that's worrying me. I've read a few posts where some people feel like they did it for nothing because they aren't losing much weight at all.

I also went to Dr Ortiz, and i went alone.

The driver picks you up at the airport, gets you across the border and checked in to the hotel. You are not left alone at any point going from US to Mexico. For myself, other than going to the clinic, i didn't leave the hotel. And the Marriott is very nice.

Coming back, you do have to leave the driver and walk through customs, but you get out right at the gate, and there is security everywhere. Short walk through, show your passport, scan your bags, and the driver picks up back up just up the block. Very easy and no concerns.

good luck! I have no regrets.
