    Hi all
    you ownt believe this
    My hand surgeon here at UW of WA had his nurse tell me over the phone that:
    he will not consider doing APO becasue...it is not FDA APPROVED I'm still LOL!!!!
    Just in case, I wrote the FDA and got an answer w'in 2 hours that
    FDA (of course) does not interfere with ANY medical procedure- they only approve FOOD & DRUGS like the name indicates...
    so much for surgeons...
    I'm headed for Jupiter and having APO by Dr Eaton on Jan 5th and Jan 9th (need both hands)

    I'll post my experience
    Happy Holidays to all

    Thanks for your story. And good luck in Florida. It's too bad some surgeons are so stiffnecked. Every hand surgeon in USA should see the photos of successful NA.
