This is just a wild guess, but maybe $8,000 to $10,000 when you consider the surgeon, hospital, anesthesia, lab work, medications, x-rays, radiologist to read x-rays, pathologist, etc. You get billed for so many different things that you don't even think of. Like I said, this is a wild guess. Maybe someone else will come along who has had it done more recently. My surgery was a couple of years ago, I had good insurance and I don't remember what the total cost was.
Also, have you gone through any of the test they have you go through before they will agree to do the surgery? I don't mean to discourage you, but trying to give you all the facts.
Good luck to you!
