Laparoscopic cyst removal for Enes: covering what insurance won't
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Enes was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In December I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Berlin University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,700 short.
Doctors at Berlin University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 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.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,350
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380
• Post-operative medication: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Phuket.
Take care, Enes. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together.
