Help Meet pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute

Meet was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my son has been in and out of Aurangabad Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Meet struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Meet won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $235 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Swapnil
