What is the FAST TRACK PASS ?



Recommended Posts

Someone mentioned it here and I can't find that post.

She said she bought one in TJ and it helped her back out of TJ faster.

Anyone know where we get these? At hotel?

From what I've read, it is a special pass that lets you use a special car lane at the border to reduce your waiting time to cross. The passes are offered by merchants and businesses like hospitals as an incentive to buy from them.

I've seen a few websites that offer a complimentary pass for using their medical services. Here is an example.

But you would need to contact your hotel, physician or hospital to find out if they offer the pass or if you can buy one locally once your in Mexico.

your medical driver will have one.

You do not need to get it if you are being driven across the boarder.

My doctor gave my driver one. They are super time sensitive papers. And I got over the boarder in 20 min as opposed to 3-5 hours.

Samuel at ready for achange had a medical pass, same thing. We got across in 30-45 min. The line we passed up, cars were stacked up there, looked like a 4 hour wait.

Sounds like they still used it they just didnt tell you. Did you pass a much longer line of cars to your left when driving up to the border?

That would not suprise me at all. Samuel called me the night before to confirm

Pick up at 12:00 am and woke me up. I was not happy at all and expressed that. His Dad ended up coming instead. Maybe he does not have that access. Yes, I did see that line no biggie. I am happy to home safe and sound and away from that place :)

strawberry, I had a fine experience there but was ready to come home. I would have been the same anywhere I went. Surgery was no fun. Not as easy as some people make it out to be but easier than I expected. The walk walk walk is so true.

Yeah being in Tijuana is not a vacation you want to have. I wanted to got as fast as possible as well. While also being in pain from surgery it's not ideal. There's no place like America and being home.

      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.
