Nervous about traveling across the border..

Wow your time is just about here!!! How exciting..You will be in my prayers as well..May a legion of angels be with you and protect you every step of the way..I hope to hear from you soon..Thanks

I hope I can put you at ease.
I live in Texas on the Mexican border.
I go to Mexico weekly.
The problems we are having are mainly in the Laredo, El Paso, Metamoras areas. A bit in Monterrey. TJ does not have the same drug gangs that we have here.
Yes there is alot of bad press right now but I would not be alarmed. BE SMART at all times.
Its the person that is half wasted out at the bars in the middle of no where that gets hurt. Now after saying that a few bystanders have been shot this past week... but not where your going.
My wife and I are going to see DR A April 8. Go then... I will be your big bro.
Good decision to get the surgery!

Hey Big Bro aka Bigisbad..lol

Im in Mexico as I write this, waiting the hotel for my surgery tomorrow. We took a bus here from the lower part of Texas. It was extremely safe. I can not say anything for the way back because I havent done that yet, BUT there was absoluetely nothing out of the ordinary coming here. I was just as worried as you but the trip was smooth sailing so far.

Good Luck

Thanks for sharing your experience so far..I'm praying for your health and success with the surgery..Look forward to hearing from you soon..God Bless!!

Thanks for the feed back..I appreciate it..
Peace and Blessings..

Hi,

I will be leaving this Thrusday and having surgery on Friday.  I'm not worried about it because from what everybody says, the drivers and everybody there is very cautious.  Too bad you couldn't go this week.  I'm so excited.  I will let you know how it goes.  Good luck. I'm glad you got  your passport.

Hello,
If I knew I was going to get my passport so soon I would have been right there with you this wk..I'm excited for you though..Wow 2 more days, thats awesome!! I'll see you on the loosers bench nxt wk. Best of health and success with your up coming surgery..Peace and Blessings..

Yeah I hear you on people saying "Oh your not big enough to have surgery"lol,  I know I am and from all the crazy things I have tried to lose weight and been unsuccesful I need something that works for once.  My biggest problem and my hubs tells me this is I eat a ton of food.  The bad thing is my daughter is now doing the same and it makes me feel worse than my own weight.  I dont want this for her and the first step in that is changing things for myself and setting an example.  I will say lots of prayers for you and I know you will be just fine!!!
