Traveling for Mexico Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 12/15 in TJ by Dr.Ortiz. Everything was great and I leave tomorrow from NY to San Diego (then TJ) for my fill- my fill is tuesday. I have been on a medical leave from my job (starting last thurs)b/c I had a huge ovarian cyst (larger than a grapefruit) on my ovary and my ovary needed to be removed (which my doctor never warned me of the possibility of potentially losing an ovary nor did she pick up the cyst this past year- in which I have had 5 dr visits) But that is besides the point. After my band surgery i had placed my passport and birth certificate in my safe deposit box- which is on the 1st floor of the building in which i work. So basically I have my drivers license and ss card as proof of id. Is this sufficient to go over the border. I know to fly to mexico you now need a passport but I'm driving over the border. If its not sufficent I need to go to the bank before my 10 oclock flight tomorrow. And I aslo risk running into a coworker at the bank (im on a medical leave until next monday). Any info will help. Thank You.

You could call your local AAA just to be sure but I believe for a day trip like that you only need your ID which you do have.

I posted back on your other thread about your ovary and cyst. I forgot to add that I was in the emergency room three times with pain and they never spotted the cyst. It was hidden behind my ovary too far for ultrasound to pick up. Exam didn't pick up anything but the tenderness on that side of my body. Ultrasound picked up the darkness on the screen (blood pooling) when my cyst finally ruptured. I am thankful that neither one of us died.

Good luck on your fill. Post back on how it goes. I may be going to Dr. Ortiz.
