  1. You are probably wondering about prices/cost. Dr. Sureddi is very fair, I have to say. The only other surgeon in CT that I considered was Paula Moynahan but her prices were OUTRAGEOUS....easily twice what Sureddi charged. His experience with bariatric patients was also extensive and I just liked him. With each surgery, you have the surgeon's fee, the facility fee, and the anesthesiologist's fee. To be honest, the latter two are usually the steepest. Dr. Sureddi charges one fee for the procedure, and that doesn't go up. It's the other two that charge BY THE HOUR and if the surgery runs long (with him it does), you get a bill for that. The anesthesiologist is $500/hour, to give you an idea. It's ridiculous. The surgery I just had was supposed to be 4 hours. It ended up being 6.5...so you can imagine the bills. This has happened every time. Part of that is because Sureddi is a perfectionist. More coming...
