It cost me $16,500 for my surgery in Jackson, MS. I also had to have an MRI of my chest, as they thought they saw 'something' on my CXR. Turned out to be nothing,but that cost me another $3,000(it cost $6,000, so they said, but since I had no insurance, they only charged me $3) the cost of surgery included any complications within 6 months and all fills for a year.

Hi, Our will be $7000 a piece ($500 down) plus the travel to and from San Antonio. Our insurance stinks too. It'd take us about a year of jumping though hoops (multiple MD office visits, exercise programs, etc.,etc.) to prove we REALLY needed assistance. Good luck in your efforts. Dylan
