Hi all,

I was wondering if there are sleevers out there who flew to mexico/ are flying to Mexico from another country other than the States?

I'm having my surgery with Dr Garcia in TJ and I'm flying from New Zealand to San Diego and getting picked up to cross the border. I booked my flights/applied for visa already and I'm just wondering what people went through as they went through customs/border. Can I openly tell them about my surgery? Will it matter if I'm going to be picked up from San Diego? My mother will be coming with me and we want to stay an extra week in San Diego post operation just to make a mini holiday out of it.

Any comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank you!

I am currently sitting at the Tijuana grand hotel with my husband awaiting my sleeve in the morning. I am from Canada and did self pay through 'a lighter me'. So far the care has been impeccable. I was in constant text contact through the days leading up to my flight. I was picked up at my gate within moments of landing in San Diego. All have been warm, welcoming, speak good English. Everything I could have hoped for
