Septoplasty for Mia: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled septoplasty in November is out of reach without help covering $2,400 of the cost.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom2,523 views
In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Leeds University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $2,400 short.
Doctors at Leeds University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $2,400 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $390
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Mia. Get well soon. We're a small family in Casablanca but we're thinking of you. God bless
Wishing Mia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from San Jose.
Keep going, Mia. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Leeds.
Good luck, Mia. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
