Questions about Deductibles/copays

Hi!  I'm in the process of getting approved for the VSG surgery.   With my insurance, I have a $2000 deductible for surgery and 80/20 with a max out of pocket of $5000.  I'm curious how much my VSG might cost.  I know I'll have to get exact numbers from my surgeon, just looking for ideas of what to expect!  Also, does anyone know if you normally pay the deductible up front, or after surgery?  Thanks so much!

I am curious about this too!! The insurance company told me it is how the doctors office wants to do it, and then I was told it is the opposite so I am not sure.
