I will be going as soon as I raise the money to go, I am not sure when, but I am going. The cost is aprox $6,-$6,500. The break down is: aprox 352. a day for the hospital. 5 days for the 1st surgery & if needed 3 days for the 2nd look lap. (I would count on all 8 days just to make sure you have enough money) You will pay for all days in the hospital even if you don't stay in that long. The hospital bill inclueds all test & pre op/post op & anesthesiology. Aprox 40 a day for the apartment. The Dr is a little harder to figure, but somewhere around 2,000. It is based on the length of surgery, the difficultness and who knows what all. You can get a phone in your room for about $1 or 2 a day plus any calls you make (it is kinda expensive) plus a 20$ deposit. You will need money for food, eating out & to fix in the apartments. The apartments have a kitchen on each floor with mini fridges with locks to keep your food in. Each person has to cook & clean up for themselves. There is also a washer & dryer in the basement that uses tokens that you can get from the head nurse. The rooms are nice! They have a private bath, a small pattio/balcony, tv, mini fridge and a safe with a key, and a phone. Of course, you might want some extra money for site seeing & gifts to take home. I hope I have answered all your questions, if not, ask more questions! I love talking about Germany!! lots of love robin
