Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Osaka Orthopedic Institute
After a herniated spinal disc, Noboru was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Osaka, Japan1,742 views
In July I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Osaka Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $6,050 short.
Doctors at Osaka Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 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 $6,050 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $610
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,950
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900
• Post-operative medication: $280
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noboru.
It's all in the list in the story. physiotherapy sessions is the big one at $610, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength, Noboru. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Latina.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Osaka
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Good luck, Noboru. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Take care, Noboru. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Osaka.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
Best of luck, Noboru. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Sending strength. Wishing Noboru a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending love, Noboru. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Istanbul this morning. God bless
