Hi there!
I am indeed seeking a substantial amount for a surgery that was deemed medically necessary to ease the constant pain in my bones, but I would like to explain the entire story.
When I was a kid in high school, I was always complaining about my legs and arms hurting, and at the same time my mom was concerned because I was not growing at the same rate as the other kids were. When we went to go get me tested, the HGH (human growth hormone) lab results showed that my HGH levels were stuck at 0.1 on a scale of 1-6. The doctor suggested growth hormone injections, but my mom was too scared of the risks involved. That being said, we did nothing, and for the next 17 years, I suffered in physical pain while being stuck at a height of 5’3″.
When I turned 18, I went to go see the HGH specialist myself for the HGH injections, and she said that since my growth plates had closed, all the injections would do would promote facial and body hair and probably make me mean. She said to relieve the pain in my arms and legs from the HGH deficiency would be through limb lengthening surgery.
Last year, the pain got so bad, I had to go see a specialist about getting it done through my insurance. Dr. Anton Plakseychuk; he trained under the man that invented the surgery in the 50’s. He said that since the HGH deficiency is causing me pain, we need to look into getting it done. We initially started looking into getting it done in the arms first and then the legs, but after some talking, we decided only the legs because since I use them to walk constantly, they cause me the most grief. So he referred me to the Rubin’s Institute for Advance Orthopedics for the limb lengthening surgery.
I spoke with Dr. Michael Assyag, and he said if I was referred to them by Plakseychuk, the surgery IS medically necessary, and if I could fetch him the lab result from when I was 13, a current HGH lab result, x-rays of my legs, and a written letter of referral, lose 30 pounds, he could get insurance to pay for the surgery.
After running around for over a month, gathering all the documents he requested, basically starving myself in the process, I got all the documents, I lost the weight, and when he submitted it to insurance, they denied it because too many people use the surgery for vanity reasons. I appealed their decision, and was once again denied. Then I filed for an outside appeal, and the board said that the surgery is elective, and my insurance does not need to pay for it.
After all the painkillers I’ve taken coupled with physical therapy, genuinely NOTHING kills the pain. Right now, I’m 30 years old, and my clock is ticking. I have looked into getting the surgery done outside of the US, and Turkey looks like a prime option. Their success rates are through the roof high, their level of care is amazing, and the cost is less than half of what clinic in the US charge. I have a passport, and I am ready to accept the 7 weeks in Turkey followed by the one year recovery time back here. But the clinics do not accept payments. They won’t do the surgery till it’s paid in full, and I do not have the $89,000 on hand.
So there it is. I am asking for $89,000 to travel to Turkey and have a quadrilateral bone lengthening surgery done to end the 17 years of constant pain in my legs. If you want, I will be more than happy to provide the documents, lab reports, x-rays, anything you want so you know I’m not lying. I just want to walk without pain is all.
Thank you for your time.
