In May I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Tijuana Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,450, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,950 short.
Doctors at Tijuana Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,450 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $1,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $860
• Post-operative medication: $75
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $145
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Indore this morning. All the best.
Get well soon. Thinking of Tijuana
you're not alone, Juan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending good thoughts, Juan. Wishing Juan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
good luck, Juan. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
