Bruno's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After an aortic valve defect, Bruno was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In February I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Xalapa General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Xalapa General Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Thanks for reading all this. - Bruno
