Hi! i had my surgery just 3 days ago in juarez Mexico and i must say it was one of the nicest hospitals i have ever been to! it really is state of the art! i had Dr. Rodriguez and he is one hell of a nice doctor! i was treated excellent while i was there and had no worries about the surgery afterwards even though going in i was scared!

it has only been three days since my surgery and i am feeling great my left side is still a little sore from the port placement but other then that i am back to doing almost everything i was before the surgery! i cant believe how little pain was actually involved in the whole procedure! if anyone happens to be going to juarez mexico for their surgery please tell the nurses up there misty tuck said hello! especially hector,jesus,and rosa those 3 were the greatest and i got to personally know them from just the 2 days i was there! i wish all of you the best of luck on your lapbands as i have already lost about 4 pounds in the last 3 days from the surgery and im very excited about whats to come!:cursing:

LAND AND SEA TRAVEL

The following summarizes information available on the Department of Homeland Security’s website.

JANUARY 31, 2008
U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.
LATER
At a later date, to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have either a U.S. passport; a U.S. passport card; a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI; a valid Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business; or a valid U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders.

Note: The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory.
