  1. There is a brand of Vit. B12 Complex that my wife takes but can't be found in Mx. So I had some sent by FedEx in California to her in Mx. FedEx said it was OK.

    Total cost to me of U.S. $72.00 plus shipping of U.S. $99.00.

    Customs "confiscated" them,and told me they can't be imported and if I wanted to import them to Mx. I had to go to Laredo, Texas, do paperwork and pay $3,000.00 (Pesos).

    I'm reading it's OK to bring them in yourself in your luggage, but not ship them.

    I'm just considering the loss as tuition for a class in "Learning about Mexico."

  2. I need a laparoscopic repair due to my very advanced age and the multiple studies of cognitive problems in  my age range with a general anesthetic which is not needed with the lap procedure.

    Money is a factor here and I would like it "locally" but not in one of the two "new" hospitals.

    When I compared prices between Lakeside (February 2023) locally and in California, the total price here was in the U.S. $9,000.00 to $11,000 while if I go to California, the cost is only the flight and a couple of nights at a motel.

    Any current information will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  3. I'm reading that people who are trying to pay their property tax and do their auto registration online are having problems. I recall over the years, there were people who would do it for me (and others). If you know someone who does this, a phone number or some contact information will be appreciated.

    I would prefer someone you have used, with references, for obvious reasons.

    Thanks

  4. Has anyone had "recent" experience with Laparoscopic surgery for a hernia here?

    What doctor would you recommend or against? Which hospital? Costs?

    I can go to California and get it done for nothing at a top ranked hospital but always like choices.

    I very much believe that there are really World class doctors here, but I need to be financially realistic.

    Any serious input greatly appreciated.
