Surgery fund for Julián: laparoscopic cyst removal in Iztapalapa
After an aortic valve defect, Julián was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Julián was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in September. The surgeon at Iztapalapa General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short.
my husband has been in and out of Iztapalapa General Hospital since September. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Julián struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Julián won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $700 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $590
• Post-operative medication: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.
