Surgery fund for Chinedu: septoplasty in Badagry

In May I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Badagry General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Badagry General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
