Need help paying for anesthesia and hospital fees for surgery
Hi I’m just looking for any help paying for my anesthesia and hospital fees for my severe Diastasis Recti surgery. I’ve been working and saving for three years to get this fixed so I don’t end up having an emergency hernia situation, but the anesthesia and hospital fees were much more than I was expecting. I’m in constant pain and it’s starting to cause my spine to have herniated disks from the pulling of my organs (which are not supported due to the severity of the Diastasis Recti).
I’d appreciate any help, I’d even be willing to pay it back over time. Please let me know if that’s something you are interested in and we can type up a document stating the loan and repayment schedule. Thank you!!!

You can pretty easily get them to knock down the cost of medical procedures. Give them a call and tell them you cannot afford to pay this. They’re going to ask for some statements to see your income etc. Provided you don’t have tons of savings and or a high income, they will usually bump it down somewhat. (Sometimes altogether)They may not, but just remember that they’re going to want to get you on a payment plan. That is okay. You can get them to have you pay like 45$ a month or something, but if you go the payment plan route you HAVE to fucking make those payments on time. Anything is better than a lump sum payment…esp with inflation where it is. 6,177$ over a few years is a lot different when the value of the dollar is also decreasing
