Surgery fund for Adel: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Jeddah

A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $2,500 of the cost.

In September I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Jeddah University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,500 short. Doctors at Jeddah University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $120 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $340 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,040 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
