Fern,

i would love to hear how you feel (as time goes on) the reduction has affected your TOS. I had rib removal surgery in the spring and at that time the surgeon recommended I consider a reduction and I agreed to see a plastic surgeon (however I have yet to hear about an appt - I know last time I was sent to a plastic surgeon for a consult regarding my ulnar nerve it took over a year before I heard a peep from the doc. I was told by my surgeon it could take over a year to get in with the plastics doc...anyway). I see the surgeon again in a few weeks and I am sure this will come up and want to know what to ask, etc. I know there is no cut and dry answer on this but be willing to hear what others have experienced.

A reduction is something I have fought in my mind for a long time...and not really sure where I stand on the issue. I have a million questions...
