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

Wasantha was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Dehiwala Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $700 short. my son has been in and out of Dehiwala Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wasantha 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Wasantha 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 $700 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $580 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ruwan
