Just Wondering About Tijuana...



Recommended Posts

Did anyone just use US dollars instead of getting pesos? A friend of mine just went to visit and said the she didn't exchange her money because a lot of places take dollars.

Don't bother exchanging money. Probably more dollars spent in TJ than pesos, anyway, because of the tourist trade. :rolleyes:

I don't know, every doctors different. Dr Pronce will take money orders or credit cards with no deposit required. That was important to me.

Tia, I used dollars all the time when in Tijuana with no problem. Just take a few small bills for tipping (for the bellboy at the hotel) & low denomination notes. They probably wouldn't accept $100 bills. But $1, $5 and $10 no problem.

Thanks Sharon. And just wondering how did you decide to pay Dr. Kelly?

I paid with a cashier's check that we picked up from the bank, for $5500.

From what I understand from my paperwork from Dr K, is that you can pay with a credit catd but there is a standard 3% fee on top of the rate. I was told they ptefer a cashiers check, but they will certainly work with you to make this possible.

Just want to add that if you run out of cash there aren't any atm's that dispense dollars so make sure you carry enough. Otherwise use a credit card which they take in most places. I went to get my teeth whitened and he wouldn't take anything but dollars.

I wish i could have found one! LOL We went to 5 different banks and had no luck. If you need to break 20's ask the Hotel front desk. They had no problems making change for me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
