Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Saket Regional Medical Center
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Rani was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In April I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Saket Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,200 short.
Doctors at Saket Regional Medical Center told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $540
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
With deep gratitude,
Rani

Wishing you peace, Rani. I hope things turn around soon. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Rani. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Bristol
Wishing you peace, Rani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 34 people at work. God bless
Sending strength, Rani. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
rooting for you, Rani. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

Hope things get better soon, Rani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal.
