I am going to Mexico in 2 weeks?

Question

I had rotator cuff surgery a couple of months back and they ended up putting posts in to hold it in place...also in 2005 I had cages put in my spine in place of discs...does anyone know if these are going to set off metal dectors....

Answer 1

i think they would

wow...what happend?

Answer 2

they wont

Answer 3

You might...hehe. But you have a good excuse. Have fun in Mexico. Wish I were going with you.

Answer 4

Yes-you will, but nowadays the airport knows about thing like that, just bring a statement from your doctor!

Answer 5

they will. As will any metal implant (such as hip). Just inform them of this before you walk in, so when you get swiped over they can target that area & realise you are not hiding anything, and telling the truth. The same thing happened to a teacher i was traveling with on our school excursion to Mexico & the US. it just delays getting through customs.

Answer 6

Don't know much about it, but hope you do well and end up getting to go safely and feeling right! :')..

Answer 7

BE CAREFUL. THE'RE LOT OF ROBS!

Bye!

Answer 8

I wen't to Mexico in November, so just have a freakin h**l of a time!!!!!!!!!!!!!     By the way  im tinkiwinki

Answer 9

Don't drink the water. Do you know even the locals take a pill once a year to clean their systems of the muck form local water.

Answer 10

They certainly may...my knees set them off...but it is no big deal.  You can carry a letter from your doc...but they just "wand" you anyway.  Just tell them you have metal medical implants and they will wand you.

Answer 11

they might. my aunt had some surgery similar to this and it sets off the metal detector anytime she goes into an airport. I recommend that you get a note from your doctor to show to airport security.

Answer 12

I'm sure your doctor could give you a written excuse to show to the security guards at their airport if you asked him.
