I've finally decided on a surgeon (Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC) and now that I've chosen him, I'm ready to go. I've been researching for over 6 months and listening to everyone's tips and advice. So thanks to all of you.

I know a passport is recommended, but I've read many times that it is not required for travel to MX. I'd prefer to have it of course, but if it takes too long to get here, will my documentation be adequate? Meaning birth certificate and drivers license?

I went to Mexico on my honeymoon. It was in November 2011. We turned in the paperwork in June of that year. Got them maybe two weeks later. I was surprised at how fast the turn around was.

Are you driving or flying? We flew, and I think we had to have a passport to fly in.

Flying into San Diego and getting picked up by the transport van for OCC.
