Depends on how comfortable your vet is with doing the surgery. Izzy was 5 mos and only 2.3 at the time of her spay - he was afraid she would go in heat but he used this special laser surgery (cost a bit more but so worth it) and he is well known in our area (on the news and all) for doing state-of-the-art surgery on all types of animals including spaying on mice believe it or not so I felt very comfortable with him doing this on Izzy. Good thing I did - she has yet to gain weight and at 10 mos only 2.6 ounces. She was fine - stayed overnight at vet (they have 24/7 vet techs and heated crates and all), picked her up next afternoon and Sunday back to her old self. But no matter what they weigh they are your babies and you constantly worry about them regardless of what they go to the vet for.
