Let's see... the hospital billed the insurance $87,446. Since it's in-network with my insurance, I pay $1,156 of that. Then, my specific insurance has a two thousand dollar co-pay for the surgeon fee. Since he's also in-network, I pay a little less than that. My portion of the anesthesia bill is $343

So, all in all, I end up owing a little over $3200. Not a bad price to pay at all.

I was really having a hard time with the wait as so many people seem to get in really quick but, these bills have just made me very thankful to be Canadian and I'll take the wait.

The hospital billed my insurance $51,100, of which I am responsible for $1,454. That seems to include everything at this point, including anesthesia and my 5 days in the hospital.

Up to a 3 day Hosptial Stay (no critical care)
2 month supply of Bariatric Chewable Vitamins

And I had to pay an additional $230 fee for the initial consulation and Mental Health Screening.
