Insurance in Mexico



Recommended Posts

So is there an airport in Calixico and can Ernesto pick you up there or somewhere else in Calixico if it's more convenient for the patient?

I would imagine so, you could call Nina for sure. But I am guessing it's no big deal. Expensive, but doable.

There is an airport in Calexico but it has very limited service. For better flight schedules and fares San Diego has it beat.

We are more interested iff there is a place to leave our car and have Ernestso pick us up in Calexico ... we're driving, not flying and trying to avoid driving into Mexicali if possible. Do you know if there is a place to leave our car for a few days in Calexico?

Yep, I've started parking there. It's the AAA Long Term Parking Lot. I park there and walk across the border but Ernesto will pick you up there. I would suggest getting there about 30 minutes early and taking full advantage of the Duty Free Shop across the street. Fun stuff there.

Thanks WASa ... do you know what the cost is? Not that it's all that important; however, I'd like to know for planning purposes.

We have to work it all out with Ruthi; however, I think we're planning on getting there the evening of the 10th, spending the night in Calexico (or somewhere nearby). What time does the pre-testing start the day before surgery? I know Nina has told me, just can't recall off the top of my head right now). Thanks for the tip on the duty free shopping :-)

And Elizabethsew -- thanks for the heads up on the pharmacy, too!

Last time I was there it was $3.00/day.

The pharmacy is Pey Pharmacia. DO NOT use Almater farmacia, it's verrrry expensive. Pey is where I get everything.

The staff will show you where it is.

Pretesting... around 1PM.

You guys have to take lots of photos!!! We want to see!!!

Yes ma'am! Since my fiance is a professional photographer by trade, I am sure that will not be an issue and will give him something to do as he tends to get bored very easily.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
