Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Aurangabad General Hospital
A scheduled gallbladder removal in January is out of reach without help covering $1,100 of the cost.

In October I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Aurangabad General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,100 short.
Doctors at Aurangabad General Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $310
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Glad we found this place.
