Surgery fund for Anna: gallbladder removal in Fayetteville

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Anna was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Fayetteville
In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Fayetteville General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $6,950 short. Doctors at Fayetteville General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $6,950 goes: โ€ข Post-operative medication: $280 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $800 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,250 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,320 Thanks for reading all this.
