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.

      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.
