Sakai
Saki was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in September. The surgeon at Sakai Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,800 short. my sister has been in and out of Sakai Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Saki struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Saki won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hiroto

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Saki.

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. pre-operative tests and imaging is the biggest at $370. Fair thing to want to know.
