Hello Sleevers,

I have my "date" with Dr. Alberto Aceves it is set for Aug. 20. Just wonderin if anyone else will be going that week? Would love to chat with you.

Thanks, Nana in Wisconsin

Nana congratulation on your surgery date. I am from Exeland remember. Good luck with everything and will be thinking of you.

Thanks wayupnorth.... I hope things are going well for you. Ya I am a bit worried about crossing the border BUT then the more I read on this VSG Forum the better I feel. And from everything they have said about Dr Aceves he sounds great.

Nana - are you driving into Mexicali yourself or is Ernesto going to pick you up in San Diego? If you're driving in, it's no big deal - they don't even question you as to why you are coming into Mexicali. If Ernesto is driving you, I don't even recall him stopping at customs into Mexico. Now, on the way out, if you are driving, customs will have to see your passport, know the reason for your visit and will do a general lookover of your car -- they didn't open car doors or anything, just looked in and asked if we had anything to declare. When we were there and Ernesto was driving, they just took our passports, called our names and returned them - it was no big deal. I drove around Mexicali by myself when Bearded was having surgery -- and I didn't feel threatened or unsafe in any way. In fact, I went shopping at Wal-Mart and everyone was very nice. You will be fine and you will be in wonderful hands with Dr. Aceves and his staff.

THanks for the encourgement Vegas Angel.. My daughter will be traveling with me. I am hoping that she can "pal" up with some else while I just lay around recouping.

We are getting picked up by Ernesto NEXT WEEK on Thursday.

Congrats on getting your date. You will love Dr. Aceves and his staff.

I hope you don't mind, I moved your post into a thread of your own.
