I only scheduled my surgery about 3 or 4 weeks in advance in Mexico. I don't think there is a wait at all, it's a matter of fitting it in to your schedule. I could have had it done sooner but wanted to get good airfare. I paid $8500 for the surgery, included hotel. Airfare was on my own, but only about $200.
If you have any other questions, let me kno.

Hi Marv,
I didn't wait long for my MX doctor either. I was banded by Dr. Gonzalez. If you want a long-experienced, knowledgeable, sterile, and warm/friendly environment, go see him. His bedside manner is gentle and kind. I think you were quoted too much. Call Dr. G at 877-249-2263. I guarantee you Dr. G or his clinical partner, Dr. Valenzuela, will call you back within short order. They're very eager to help.
