Hello, I just had surgery done by Dr. Redwine in Bend Oregon. I live in Wasilla Alaska so you can see that most of the cost of medical for me was traveling to Oregon. We used our airmiles card all year to earn enough miles to travel for free. Dr. Redwine requires 80% of his fee up front so this amounted to approx. 4800.00 That is a pretty small amount considering what he did for me. I was skeptical because I have been suffering with Endo for 12 years now. In 1998 I had the laser/vapor surgery which only made my symptoms worse. I am in week 6 recovery from Dr. Redwine and also am in day 5 of my 2nd cycle since surgery and for the FIRST time in 12 years I have NO pain. I can hardly believe it myself but that is why I looked up this web-site to start letting women know that it can work for you too! With the help of my husband who has been watching me suffer for 12 years, we decided that to even make payments to the doctor and hospital for the rest of our lives would be sooo worth it if I feel better. I'm so greatful for making this decision because as for now I feel better already than I have in years. I hope this helps. Have a great day! Nicole Hartley
