I just got back from Mexico yesterday, had my surgery on the 28th with Dr. Kelly. For last minute items, I would recommend bringing some Gatorade powder packets rather than spending a fortune at the airport for it. If you booked your surgery through Trish then I would say you need nothing else as she will get you everything you need while in Mexico. Make sure to make copies of your driver's license, passport, and credit card and store them in your bags. I would also recommend packing light if your going to be moving your luggage after the surgery. I would also recommend taking some sweaters/sweat pants if you get easily get cold as it gets a little chilly at night in Tijuana. I took $250 dollars to Mexico with me and it covered an additional two nights I stayed at The Lucerna and some light souvenir shopping.

Hope your surgery goes well.

Take care,

Darren

Congratulations! I didn't have my sleeve in Mexico but I do visit there often. Everyone I meet is helpful and kind--I've never had a problem.

I would take one credit card with you just in case there is a complication and you need some extra money. Don't forget to call them and tell them your going to Mexico so your card doesn't get flagged if you need to use it. I had to stay over at the hospital an extra night and needed a credit card to change my flights. In addition, the hospital will not take a personal check.

Take care,

Darren

Good Luck!
