    Bummed out and sad

    Im getting ready for mine and i have a tentative date for June 6th, i have a father who is a gp so the surgeon is doing his part as a courtesy. I feel the same way as you though because the cost they quoted just for the anesthesist and the surgery room cost was 14,000.they have a call into the hospital to find out exactly but there is no way i can afford 14,000 so i feel sick. I have a car loan and 30,000 in college loans and am only finished college in the end of June, so i would really be sticking it to myself to add another 14,000 in loans to my debtload as I embark on my search for employment. sigh.... Does anyone know the exact costs of the hospital part? Would one hour in surgery and one hour in recovery and a needle really be that much? I am cossing my fingers daily in hopes that it is a mistake. If that really was the case, how could anyone afford it in conjunction with paying the surgeon? I'm completely stressed over it. any suggestions or cost knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    Pre op questions for all! newbie!

    I am scheduled for June 6th, but waiting on cost info, , and feeling very afraid i won't be able to do it >Anyone know the cost breakdown when not paying by insurance. The doc is a friend so he is doing his part as a courtesy. So i have to pay for the surgery room and anesthetic only. They quoted 14,000, is it really that much for the use of the surgery room and the anesthitic alone??? I am not staying overnight as my father is a doctor so he is going to watch over me. I will stay at my parents house for recovery. I have gotten so excited and am afraid of not being able ot get it done. I have so much in college loans already and taking on a 14,000 loan with a car loan and college is so much for one person just finishing college in July and not even taken an employment position as yet.
