I think the surgeon's fee was $14500 whi*****ludes all pre-op & post-op visits, the actual surgery, the garment, etc.  I think the only other fees were anesthesiology & the hospital fee which were additional approximately $4000 because I was under 8 hours and stayed overnight.

I second that question, as well as what is the typical recovery time as far as working outside the home?  I can't go too long without a paycheck!

If you work outside the home, my guess is you'll need at least two weeks off.  And that is if you are a pretty quick healer with a fairly high pain tolerance.  I still take a nap every afternoon, and I've been working from my bed at home.  I'll be two weeks out tomorrow.  To give you a comparison, I could have gone back to work probably three days after sleeve surgery, but going back to work a week after LBL, BA/BL was very, very taxing.  I also don't have much of a reaction to narcotics - they get rid of the pain, but they don't make me loopy or anything.

Looking great Raven.  My LBL was the 25th and I think my recovery is just a bit slower.  Your surgeon ROCKS (and mine does too).  I'll be posting an update in a few days on my progress.  Thanks a lot for sharing today.  Gave me a bit of a pick me up :)
