Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Hialeah General Hospital
Ignacio needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Hialeah General Hospital and the family is $4,550 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 Hialeah, Florida, United States1,977 views
In February I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Hialeah General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,550 short.
Doctors at Hialeah General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery 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 $4,550 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Physiotherapy sessions: $780
• Travel and lodging for the family: $345
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Ignacio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
