Tayyaba Awaits Cholecystectomy and Umbilical Hernia Repair

Tayyaba Bibi's Story

For the past seven years, Tayyaba Bibi, a 36-year-old woman from Karachi, has been suffering from upper right abdominal pain. Her condition is accompanied by nausea, and indigestion, especially after consuming fatty meals. Along with this, she also noticed a painful lump in her umbilical area that made her daily activities even more challenging. Recently, as the pain worsened, Tayyaba finally visited a hospital for a check-up. After performing an ultrasound scan and some lab tests, her doctor diagnosed her with Cholelithiasis (gallstones) and Paraumbilical Hernia.

The gallstones have been causing constant abdominal pain and digestive issues, while the hernia has made even simple movements difficult. The doctor has advised Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal surgery) and Umbilical Hernia Repair. However, the cost of this treatment is out of her family’s financial capacity.

Without these procedures, her condition will deteriorate further. It may lead to infections, intestinal blockages, and severe complications requiring emergency surgery.

Tayyaba lives in a modest home with her husband and four children. Her husband works as a driver in a private firm, earning just 32,000 PKR per month. With this limited income, he struggles to cover their basic needs, including utility bills amounting to PKR 3000 PKR and the school expenses of their children. With no savings and no one else to support them, the cost of Tayyaba’s surgery is beyond their reach.

Tayyaba said in despair:

“I have lived with this pain for years, but now it has become unbearable. I just want to be there for my children without struggling every day. Please help me get this surgery so I can live without pain and take care of my family.”

Tayyab longs to be a healthy and active mother for her children, to cook for them without pain, and to care for them without feeling exhausted. But each passing day without surgery brings her closer to severe complications.
