Surgery fund for Noa: gallbladder removal in Tel Aviv

After severe cataracts in both eyes, Noa was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Tel Aviv 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 $7,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,500 short. Doctors at Tel Aviv General Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,750 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 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 $5,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $990 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Noa
