Cost of Surgery

The bills are starting to roll in from my hernia surgery.  Granted, all we owe is the deductible, but wow!  I'd total up all the bills from the doctor, the surgery center and the anesthesiologist and post it, but I don't think it would be very appropriate, plus I don't want to sound like I'm whining.   But I wouldn't have guessed that it would cost as much as it did just to have a small hole patched.  And for what we pay in insurance one would think that we would have a little lower deductible.  It's reasons like this that I don't go to the doctor as much as I should.
