That is not the same in Mexico. I have a BMI of 34 with co-occuring issues and I am approved. There is little to no wait - it depends on when you want to have it done. Hope you find a surgeon you like and move forward!\
I have a BMI of 36. Was approved in one day. My surgery is booked for Sept 4th at a lighter me, Dr. E. Ortiz. Flying from Calgary to San Diego on the 3rd. Getting tired of the waiting. Wishing I had booked to go now!
