Gallbladder removal for Ayu: covering what insurance won't

Ayu was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in October. The surgeon at Surakarta General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Surakarta General Hospital since October. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ayu struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ayu won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Post-operative medication: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 Thanks for reading all this.
