Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Oh yes, anyone can get surgery in the US as long as they bring a suitcase full of money. Self-Pay prices in the US range from $25,000 to $42,000 and even higher. Major cities like LA and NY are more expensive than less populated areas like Delano, CA. These prices include surgery, pre-op tests, and a 5-7 day stay in the hospital. Also, the major metropolitan areas have long waiting lists, so it would be quicker to go to a smaller city. If this is too rich for your blood you can consider Dr. Baltasar in Spain (about $11,000 US currency).
