Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Parker: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in August is out of reach without help covering $2,950 of the cost.

Parker was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,950 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Parker struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Parker won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $340
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Love from Quezon City.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parker!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. physiotherapy sessions is the biggest at $340. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Anthony. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
wishing Parker a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thane.
Best of luck, Anthony. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you. Wishing Parker a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
