Who has gone to Mexico alone…or would you?



Recommended Posts

The entire time we have been planning this we just figured my husband would come with me. But He started a new job last week and is thinking it will be hard to get time off of work. On top of that we thought we could save about $100 on an expedited passport for him, about $500 for a plane ticket and maybe $200 on food and other things he would be paying for while he was there. So we could save about $800 by having him not come with me and I don't think the money is the main problem anyway that is just a bonus of him not coming. We wouldn't have to leave our kids with my parents and we wouldn't have to worry about getting off of work. I'm just a little worried about it, I told him people do go along, so I was looking for some insight from people who have gone to TJ alone, did you feel safe, did everything go as planed? Did you feel sufficient on your own post surgery in the hotel? Also another silly question how do you get in contact with people in the US while you are in Mexico because he already told me he would want to hear from me several times a day.

I didn't go alone but I would have been perfectly okay had I gone alone. I went to Mexicali.

I didn't go alone either, but like Amanda said, I think I would have been fine if I had.

I felt perfectly safe alone in TJ. Every part of it.

I went alone, no problem. I did stay in the hospital for 3 nights though, didn't need to but I just found it easier.

I wasn't alone but it would have been OK if I was. The driver is going to take you where you need to go. It will be boring laying in a hospital bed with no one in the room but otherwise it would be OK.

We were going to use Skype in Mexico but we never did. We actually communicated with everyone using Facebook messenger. Just like texting only free.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
