Complete cost of my surgery almost

edieparks · 03-30-2007, 04:29 AM

surgeon $4000
hospital $13500
lab & diagnostics $951
prescribed gym
membership $459
hotel,food $373
total $19283

I am a self pay and I could take off membership for gym and also I live 2 hours away so my mileage was deductible too.
My surgeons at seminar quoted $17500.
After they dealt with my insurance and concluded I would have to be a self pay they went into detail about costs with me. It would actually be
$18451.00 for medical expenses.

Just thought this might be interesting thread.

I am deeply in love with my LAP-BAND®. My LAP-BAND® loves me too. If I wasn't married I would marry my lap..

Back to reality.... I am satisfied.

I was a self pay too, but my surgery/hospital alone was about $20,000. It has been worth every penny of it!

Total cost including hospitals, hotels, flights, blood tests before and after...
4846 Euros which works out at $6,456.15
I have to pay for my fills at $220 a time... I'm really happy with my new friend!!
