Hi...I am new on here but have read quite a few of everyone's posts and MD information. I have bilateral cervical ribs, and the right sided one is compressing my subclavian artery and I am having surgery for the right side next month in Denver. I have no symptoms at all which I thought was weird. Anyway, just wondering if anyone here has had this surgery done before. I'm really nervous and unsure what to expect. I am an RN and am wondering how this will affect my job (recovery time, restrictions, etc). any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
