The hospital stay alone was approximately $186,000 which was for 4 days. The rest was for the actual surgery and use of the OR. As of now I pay outta pocket for any further care and do not have health insurance.

That price is unreal! I had a 2 level in the US for about $40k. That hospital should be ashamed for ripping you off!!!
