Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Liverpool General Hospital
After a hernia that has become strangulated, Aaron was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇬🇧 Liverpool, England, United Kingdom5,110 views
In March I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Liverpool General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $12,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $6,350 short.
Doctors at Liverpool General Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $12,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $6,350 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950
• Physiotherapy sessions: $640
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,910

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Aaron?
Thank you. If you're in Liverpool I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone, Aaron. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Liverpool

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal.
