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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
