Anyone had surgery in Mexico from another country?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there are sleevers out there who flew to mexico/ are flying to Mexico from another country other than the States?

I'm having my surgery with Dr Garcia in TJ and I'm flying from New Zealand to San Diego and getting picked up to cross the border. I booked my flights/applied for visa already and I'm just wondering what people went through as they went through customs/border. Can I openly tell them about my surgery? Will it matter if I'm going to be picked up from San Diego? My mother will be coming with me and we want to stay an extra week in San Diego post operation just to make a mini holiday out of it.

Any comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank you!

That sounds like a great plan!

I don't think you will have any problem at all and honestly when i went to Mexico for my surgery a few weeks ago, they don't even stop you...they just wave you in. It's getting back into the states that takes time. Just out of curiosity...how come you didn't just fly into TJ?

Hi there! It was cheaper for me and my mum to get flights to San Diego and get picked up from there

Also it was easier for us to book flights that way as me and my mum as stayin in San Diego an extra week after my surgery
