For those that went to Mexico (tijuana ), how long did it take you to get back through the border? Did you go through the medical lane?

Good luck everyone with this month surgery, my surgery was set for Oct 19 and my insurance company denied it. My dr plans on appealing it since it's medical necessary.

@@jmarie67 yes!! I am 4 days P/O and having a similar situation, I am able to wander but when it does come time to "go" it's of the unpleasant consistency lol. The nurse told me before I was discharged that the leak test I had the day after surgery had barium that acts as a laxative so that could be it if you had that test done. But also being on a full liquid diet I just think in combo with the barium my body is just having a hard time getting it together [emoji16]

I did have the barium, plus clear liquids since wed. When where you able to start full liquids?

Day 2 post op the PA advanced my diet to full liquid so since Friday afternoon I've been able to have a little more then just clears, like pudding and I tried some very watery cream of wheat but mostly I've been drinking flavored water, decaf tea and Popsicles
