Surgery fund for Adam: laparoscopic cyst removal in Łódź

Adam needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Łódź Orthopedic Institute and the family is $3,250 short of the hospital's estimate.

Łódź
In October I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Łódź Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,250 short. Doctors at Łódź Orthopedic Institute told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,350 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 • Post-operative medication: $145 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,545 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
