      the fee you pay is different than the total costs, I paid $1,000 for my PIV, but the total costs were still over $100,000. That’s not including the thousands I spent on a hotel room for the week after I was discharged but not permitted to go home yet.

      Edit: I should say I’m in the US, there are cheaper options elsewhere like Thailand. There is even a very cheap option in Thailand where they don’t put you under general anaesthesia to keep costs low.

        I should clarify, that was the uninsured price. I spent a lot less because I wound up with insurance covering it. And yeah total costs were a fair bit higher including the hair removal.

        Edit: I should say my surgeon was in Cleveland
