Surgery fund for Julian: septoplasty in Dallas
Julian needs septoplasty at Dallas General Hospital and the family is $4,900 short of the hospital's estimate.

In April I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Dallas General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $4,900 short.
Doctors at Dallas General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 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 $4,900 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,400
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Travel and lodging for the family: $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $490
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Julian. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck, Julian. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Manila
