I went to my Dr. last week for another follow-up, and he said that he
thinks surgery will be my best bet. I have Venous TOS, so there
really is no other alternative. First he was talking about removing
my clavicle, but luckily he changed his mind and decided he is going
to remove my first rib. He is going to do this by going in through
my neck. Has anyone had the procedure done this way before? What
can I expect? I am not having it done until next month because we
are going on vacation at the end of this month.

Hope all is well for all of you!


=)
