Resides: FL

"A day only has 24 hours and lately that doesnt seem to be enough for me. I am painting, exhibiting and growing and selling orchids. We're also getting ready to add to our house..... I'm enjoying it all, even if I am seemingly too busy. I'm feeling 98% again and am often consiously grateful to the Dr. for giving me back the ability to fulfill my desires in life and keeping myself intact."

-MA



Resides: New York

"Since my surgery in 2005, every one of my gynecological exams has shown no reproductive problems. There have been no fibroids or ovarian cysts and I've had no issues with endometriosis. My doctor always sends me out for a sonogram "just to be sure there's nothing there" and is always amazed at the results, especially knowing my history. Even the radiologists are surprised because I have an even longer history with them! I feel wonderful and I'm so grateful I decided to have the surgery. If I hadn't I'm certain I would have ended up with continuing problems or a complete hysterectomy. FAS was easily the clear choice."
