Hi, I had this procedure done bilaterally. Will your's be bilateral? The recovery was more like 6 weeks, not the 2 that the surgeon originally told me.

It gave me excellent posture, I'm still developing the muscles at the back and base of my neck and upper back to hold my head up, but I've always had poor posture. Seriously awesome shoulder posture though. I wear a soft cervical collar because my neck gets tired.

I feel like this surgery compressed my artery even more than it already was compressed. I feel like I would have been better off if I had this surgery along with my first rib resection/scalenectomy. If you have already had those surgeries though, and are still having problems, it increases your chance of success greatly.
