Surgery fund for Naveen: laparoscopic cyst removal in Thane

In August I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Thane University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Thane University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,300 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 10 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Naveen
