Surgery fund for Seema: gallbladder removal in Aurangabad
A scheduled gallbladder removal in May is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

In March I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Aurangabad General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Aurangabad General Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress 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 stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $520
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $15
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Paris.
So sorry you're going through this, Seema. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Sending love, Seema. Wishing Seema a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Amsterdam.
Stay strong, Seema. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Aurangabad.
