Christus St.Michael in Texarkana does charlty work as does Parkland just outside Dallas,this in addition to what I sent you privatley is the most i can find. You may want to consider getting on medicadif possible try it atleast worst they can do is say no.
friend, I found a list of charity hospitals and how to access them in Texas have phone numbers names etc, will send you a link , phone numbers and all info in a private message can not post it here as its against MH rules. go to your private mail box on your home page its all really great news You are going to be just fine , you can rest eay now, it will work out for you,
all hospitals have a patients rights advocate, ask to speak to one, many dont know such a thing exists, thats a starting point. I understand you need the surgery. The DaVinci is great I have all good to say about it, it is just alot lot more expensive than transvaginal or abdominal incision, you may want to factor that into your decision, I will search and pm you about Texas and see what more I can do, I have a really great friend in TX who is a RN I will ask her as well as searching. Talk to the advocate, and I will be in touch within 24 hrs.

We are in TX. The doctor says there is no sense in trying anything else, that I need a hysterectomy. I was severely anemic (hematocrit was 2), and had to have 5 units of blood. We want to get this problem solved and the only way seems to be with surgery.
I just had surgery last wednesday, A vaginal hyst. I had no insurance but found out the hospital had a financial aid department. They have helped me so much, I got a discount and also got on a program to make payments, very reasonable. Try that. I live in Michigan, but went to Indiana, they helped more. We just live 20 miles from the hospital. Check on that if you have't already!
I can try to help you w info regarding insurance, what state are you in?
a DaVinci Robotic assisted hysterectomy is by far superior as for the method, healing and invsiveness of hysterectomys its also the very very most expensive method,
the other two methods would be a laproscopic or a traditional bikini cut or transvaginal hysterectomy,
Im in MI we have one hospital that takes folks w no insurance.
also has your dr mentioned any other treatments besides hysterectomy for the fibroids?Like a leep?
