Well I'm aware of that... However they say you need a pass card if you will be crossing the border by land or a passport by air. I'm just trying to see which would be better....

It's not a matter of which one is better if you are going to travel to Mexico by land and you don't want to spend the money for a passport then pay the $55 for a pass card which can only be used for land travel . If not pay the money for a passport and get a passport which can be used for air or land travel.

Yes you need a passport to leave the united states of America

I only needed mine both times to come back into the US- they don't make you show it going into MX

I had my surgery on 3/11 I didn't have enough time to get my passport because I wanted to get this surgery before I spent my tax return, any way my wife n I both just took our drivers lic and original birth cert and we were able to cross back into the USA and when we crossed into Mexico they didn't even check us

My husband and I both have the pass cards from a previous trip to Canada. I wouldn't chance being held up at the border.

      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.
