How long did it take to cross the border at San Diego?
Hello, Crossing from San Diego into Mexico takes no time at all. You should be picked up by your driver earlier in the morning and drove across to the hospital. There may have been a small line, but there was really no waiting. On the way back you are scheduled to leave pretty early before your flight home. A driver will pick you up a few hours before your flight. They say it can take anywhere from 30 to 2 hours. I believe it took us 1 hour of sitting in line to get through the boarder. We were picked up just before 7 and across the boarder around 8. However, you won't be bored. There are tons of things to look at. There are people all over the street selling news papers and jewelery. All kinds of odds and end from bubble gum to huge ceramic vases and virgin mary statues. Crazy, lol. It offered some entertainment though. Plus your driver will speak great english so its not going to be akward or anything. Plus once you get closer to the border there are huge tv screens and a bunch more people trying to serve Breakfast burritos. I promise the wait will seem short with the culture shock you'll be having. It was more fun than anything. Congratulations on your date, good luck!!!

July 18 with Dr. Ramos-Kelly?? Would love a sleeve sis
I understand how scary it can be to be going there and not have anyone. I just wanted to let you know that you will be fine. Even if you don't end up finding another person going down there the same time as you the staff there will make sure you are taken care of just great. Don't let this be a worry in your mind of things that you should be worrying about. Take care and good luck your day is soon to be here!

How gay friendly are they in Mexico?
I noticed this post earlier, but didn't want to respond with out having an informed response. I was hoping that someone from dr. aceves office would have responded. However, I do not think at all that there will be any problems. I am sure they are well aware of different types of sexual orientation down there too. Have fun and I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck, your date is coming up soon!!

Why are there two different websites for the doctors in mexico
Hi kansasgirl, There are different site because each coordinator creates their own to create their own business. I too went through successfullyslimmer and had Christi as a coordinator. She is fantastic and always has the answers to my questions or will point me in the right direction to find them. The prices and people dealing with the surgery are all the same. Christi was fast to get me the information I needed and still checks up on me. Plus she even sent a small gift package before surgery full of great little forget-me-nots for my trip. I would reccommend her any day. Congratulations with your decision and feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions.
