Swapnil's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Swapnil was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In January I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Mysuru Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Mysuru Orthopedic Institute told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a restaurant cook, 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 restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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: $400
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Swapnil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mysuru.
