I need a hysterectomy and I don't have insurance.

For those who had to deal with this, how did you manage? Is there a way to get this surgery on the affordable side, without leaving the U.S?

For context, I have struggled with heavy periods and anemia for several years.

All the iron and pain killers have destroyed my stomach. It has caused so many other issues in my body, in a horrible cascading effect.

I can fix all of it just by getting rid of my uterus.

I was thinking of waiting till next year but the insurance that will be available to me, is not great.

I fear they may just deny it anyway and since, according to my calculations, I will end up paying around $15000 between premiums and copays, etc, maybe I can just find alternatives that will give me what I need now, vs next year.

Any help will be appreciated.
