Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Sara: covering what insurance won't

After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Sara was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Sara was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Bordeaux General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Bordeaux General Hospital since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sara struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Sara won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. 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 $5,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $185 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,450 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,085 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
