Jewelry in Mexico

I went to Mexico alone and was advised to leave my wedding ring at home. It did feel strange to be without it and I kept touching my finger because it felt so odd. If I had it to do again, I think I would buy a really cheap ring - maybe even a plastic 'toy' ring - and wear that. You could safely leave that on your bedside table while you're getting your surgery.

Curious- why would u not wear your wedding ring?

I would not take any jewelry with you for surgery as you have to take it off to have the procedure done, and the border towns are very dangerous and there is a lot of theft reported.... when I was looking for a doctor, I even heard that one recovery house had been robbed in TJ.... that is one of the reasons I went to Puerto Vallarta... that said, the CMQ hospital in Puerto Vallarta, locked my room when I went for surgery, but I still did not take any jewelry. I did leave my purse and phone in the room and it was all there when I got back but why leave a temptation out there.
