Laparoscopic cyst removal for Mega: covering what insurance won't

Mega was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in May. The surgeon at Jakarta General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta General Hospital since May. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mega struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Mega 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 $650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $25 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rudi
