Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Kobe General Hospital
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $5,450 of the cost.
🇯🇵 Kobe, Hyogo, Japan2,838 views
In July I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Kobe General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $5,450 short.
Doctors at Kobe General Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard 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 stand for more than ten minutes 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 $5,450 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,450
• Post-operative medication: $280
• Physiotherapy sessions: $290
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,970
Glad we found this place.
