Has anyone chosen to self pay for surgery lately? I was curious to hear about the total cost out of pocket?

i was self-pay at st. vincent's 15 months ago. the hospital had a total cost that included everything except the surgeon (included pre-op testing, hospitalization, anethesiologist - EVERYTHING), of $16,500 at that time. the surgeon's fee was $4000. it was money well spent! deb -252

Mine was at St. Francis (with no complications) and with pre-op testing has come to between 30 and 35 thousand.

I chose to self pay for the Lap Band in Acuna Mexico. My total cost for the doctors fee's hospital stay (1 night) hotel stay (2 nights) and medicines was 6800.00. I drove down there and had a guide who actually drove me across the border and from San Antonio Texas. I have had no complications and am 2 weeks out. -Amy Ashley
