That is great!! Please ask your surgeon to send the information to you regarding the spraygel or to the IAS so we can get our drs moving. I am so glad that someone here in the USA has been given this opportunity because we all can't afford to go out of the country. Please post this information because I know of a few women that are trying to raise the money to go to Germany now. Good luck and God bless.
