I would LOVE to get top surgery but where in a college budget and time schedule do I fit an entire surgery and recovery??

People I know either took a semester off, are doing it over J term/winter break, or are doing it over the summer. As for budget probably just asking parents for help if that’s an option or trying to find a way to get insurance to cover it😭

tbh i just had to miss class. my mom's a teacher on a year round schedule (where you get smaller breaks throughout the year rather than one big summer one) so she was only available soon when i was in school, and i was desperate to get it done, so i just told my professors beforehand and did as much as i could in advance. budget im on a payment plan. i've heard if you go to certain hospitals and let students work on you (supervised) it's way cheaper but i did not do that.

i'm so so so thankful i was able to get my insurance to cover it. if your college offers counseling services, you could see if anyone there could write your letters of support that insurance typically needs
