Yes, it is very possible that the doctors and nurses do not know much about the costs.
Typically, the bill for a hospital stay is sent directly from the hospital to the medical insurer, which pays the hospital directly. The insurer pays the entire bill, and then sends you an account for any parts they do not cover. You must then pay that remaining slice to the insurance company, and not the hospital.
But every hospital has an office. You could phone there and ask to speak to the accounts department, and ask them to send you a copy of the bill. If you are not helped when you phone, remember that such an office is likely to be staffed by several people, so just call back the next day and you have a good chance that you'll speak to someone else.
If phonecalls don't work, write them a letter. In that letter, supply as many details as possible, dates, name, including your insurance number, so they can find you in the system.
Edit: Oh, I've re-read. I thought you had already had the surgery. If it is still in the future, you could still ask the accounts office to give you an approximate amount, but for that you may need to know the medical name of the procedure, and how long your doctor told you that you're likely to be in hospital. They won't know the definite amount until you leave hospital.
