I'm so excited but I have NO idea about the cost of the assistant surgeon - and now im afraid i wont be able to do this because i have NO money to be spending on this - we're moving in a few weeks and getting married end of october - - lol

YAY!!!! Congrats,congrats,CONGRATS!!! I as well dont know about an assistant charge but I will say my TOTAL out of pocket is a grand total of $470 and some change. That was the remainder of my deductible and the 20% co-insurance. I totally know the feeling the approval gives you..once you set you date...your going to feel 10 times better and a PEACE will come over you like no other.

Congrats!
I asked about having an assistant (since I was looking at about 10hrs under) and I think they said it was going to be a couple of thousand extra.
I ended up not asking for it since he usually works solo anyways.
But prices vary from location to location - so you most likely just won't really know until you get back ahold of them tomorrow.. sorry
