Support My Gallstone Surgery Costs

I was diagnosed with gallstones about a year ago, and the experience has been incredibly challenging. At times, the pain was so severe that it would wake me up in the middle of the night, leaving me doubled over and unable to find relief. The episodes felt like intense, stabbing cramps in my upper abdomen, radiating to my back and shoulders. I often had to rely on pain management techniques and dietary changes just to get through the day. It wasn’t just physically exhausting — it took a toll on my mental and emotional well-being as well. Managing this condition has taught me a lot about listening to my body, advocating for my health, and pushing through even in difficult circumstances. So now it’s time to get it removed. Unfortunately I no longer have health insurance and cannot afford a plan from marketplace. So here I am, asking for help from friends and strangers. The procedure, which is non-invasive, costs anywhere from $3,000-$6,000.
