You do not currently need a passport to DRIVE over the border.

I think it's 1/1/08 when that goes into effect.

If you fly you do need a passport for everywhere now.

I'm driving down on 11/23... I'm excited.

I just got back from Mexico on October 28th and all I needed was my driver's license. They said that they should be switching it passports for driving on 1/1/08. Good luck!!

It should be clarified though that you DO need your passport and Alien Registration Card and License if you are NOT a U.S. Citizen.

My British passport had expired and I had lost my green card so I had to get both replaced and must have them with me in order to come back into the U.S. when I go to Mexico this weekend for my consultation. HTH

Hi all,

I have a little diferent story. I only have a BMI of 30 but I still need to lose about 60 lbs. I know I want to go to Mexico to have Dr. Ortiz install the lap band for me. My question is how do I broach the conversation with my husband that I want to be banded? He is usually very suportive of everything I do, It's not the money. I just know he will friek out. I have done a ton of research. Thanks for your feed back. ThinAgainJann

I had the same problem, but once i started telling him that i wanted to get this done, i started crying i couldnt help it and he totally understood. Just plan a dinner and let him know. Good Luck let us know how it goes.

Hi Thin Again Jann. I too am in the same boat. Unfortunately my hubby wasn't very supportive and I kind of took the attitude of I'm doing it anyway. He met me at my best (after two years of losing about 65lbs). Anyhow, I got pregnant and gained it all back and then some. So he thought it was all baby weight and not a result of a lifetime of struggling with my weight. Anyhow, I'm glad I did it. I went to Dr. Ortiz and while I can't say anything about the man himself (I barely remember seeing his face as I was wheeled into the OR), I can say the surgery went off without incidence and I was released next day. I never even took a pain med. Good luck!

According to this U.S. State Department site and this Department of Homeland Security site, passports will be required for land-based travel to Mexico in summer 2008 -- an actual date hasn't been determined yet. As of January 31, you will just have to present your ID (driver's license) and a birth or naturalization certificate.

      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.
