Amber Mac is ready for a new chapter.

Dressed in a hospital gown, face mask and hair cap, the broadcast personality, whose name is Amber MacArthur, noted she got a surgery she's been waiting to have for a couple years.
"I (finally!) had surgery yesterday (total hysterectomy) and now the healing begins. Thanks to the amazing team at [Sinai Health]," Mac began in the caption to her post. "After more than two years of anemia due to fibroids, ER stays, monthly infusions, hormone therapy and one minimally-invasive surgery cancelled in December and other procedures tried, looking forward to moving forward."
