Sorry about that! I basically typed my whole question as a title. So, how much did the surgery cost hotel and all

I paid $250 to my Dr for a consultation and paperwork

The rest was $0. I had already met my out of pocket expenses for the year.

Ok....hospital gross bill was over $200k! My insurance negotiated rate was just over 60k. My share is just under 3k.
That doesn't include the surgeon or anesthesia.
I went in at 5am on Friday and was discharged Saturday around 2pm.
Then there were all the other pre op steps.

I paid 19k self pay here in my city. It included hospital, surgeon, blood work, anesthesiologist and take home prescriptions and appointments. Very satisfied.

Mine was out of the ordinary, since I spent 4 days in the hospital due to complications caused by underlying conditions.
My hospital bill was just over $67,000.00.
My surgeon's bill was $14,000.00.
So, just over $81,000.00.
My portion was $850.00 and change with insurance, split about evenly between the hospital and surgeon before my surgery date.
I have a $1,000.00 annual deductable that I met when I paid the $850.00.

12k ......self pay.... included everything. I also get lifetime exercise and nutrition counseling. The BMI Center in Salt Lake City Utah.

14500 st Augustine fl. Mine is scheduled for this month

9000 Shady Grove, Maryland

My total bill including: Pre-op visit fees, surgery center fee, anesthesiologist fee, bariatric surgeon fee, post-op visit fees, and post-op medications was a total of $12,000.

That also includes all expenses for one year post-surgery and lifetime nutrition and exercise counseling.

Not too bad of a deal if you are a cash pay patient.

My surgeon was $12,000.00
The psychiatrist visit was $100.00 out of pocket.
The nutritionist visit was $150.00 out of pocket.
Seven monthly doctor's visits to my GP were $20.00 each = $140.00 out of pocket.
The hospital bill, including the anesthesiologist was $78.000.00 and change.
A few hundred for bloodwork out of pocket.
So... around $91,00.00 total.
My portion was $885.00 if I recall correctly, after insurance (May, 2017).
Just FYI, my monthly vitamin bill is around $45.00 for multi-vitamins, calcium, B-vitamins, and Biotin, Vitamin D, and Vitamin C.
Other than protein powder or drinks at first, vitamins will be a necessary, ongoing cost.
