Can some of you tell me how much the total bill was on your surgery. I want to hear feed back from you all not a doctors office.

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.

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.

$8899 in Florida cash pay. $500 for hotel rooms for 5 nights. 2 prescriptions paid for by insurance (one has otc equivalent, one I didn't need) under $10.

Preop testing, $70, paid by insurance. Psycheval would have been $150 otherwise. (or waived).

Gas money $100.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
