Surgery fund for Abdul: laparoscopic cyst removal in Narayanganj

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Narayanganj Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $880, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Narayanganj Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $880 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $340 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
