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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
