No problems at all... When you go into Mexico, the van goes to a special line, you get out with your luggage, go into a building, they scan your luggage, you press a button (green: no bag search, red: they will search your bags), go out the building, wait for the van to get cleared, get back in the van and that's it. On the way back, the van drops you off at the border, tells you what building to go through, have your passport ready, they ask why you came to Mexico, scan your bags, then walk out the building and meet where you Van told you to meet. Ours had us meet outside a Bank. It was very non eventful crossing, no big lines, no issues.

The company I had my surgery with picked me up at the airport in San Diego. We drove right across the boarder with no issues and no stops. When you cross the boarder back into the states, that's when they check our passports but didn't look through all our luggage. Maybe because the company I went with has a medical transport card?

Same here as Jess623- we had no stops coming or going.

Medical transport card for us too equalled special line for the return to the US (much shorter!) and our driver simply handed the customs agent our passports and surgical passes, he looked, returned, and waved us on. TADA!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
