Does anyone have any idea what the ball park cost is for endoscopy surgery.
I'm having surgery on a Thursday my Doctor said I should take a week off work, but due to financial reasons I don't think I could do that. Plus my job is not really all that hard, I do alot of standing and walking for 10 hours but no heavy lifting whatsoever. I was thinking that maybe that following Monday I could be ok to go back to work what do you guys or gals think? any input will be appreciated.

What are you having the surgery for? What part of the body?

I have had this done and was back to work the next day.(Endoscopy). All they usually do is look down your stomach with a flexible light, may take biopsies if needed. You are given a mild sedative through and IV which wears off that same day. Endoscopy and surgery are not the same. Endoscopy is a procedure which I just described. Surgery usually involves removing something. Which is it?
