Fábio was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at São Paulo Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my son has been in and out of São Paulo Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fábio struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Fábio 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 $1,100 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $145
• Physiotherapy sessions: $300
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $655
Thank you for reading my story.
