Question Double Rib Resection ???

[SIZE="3"] As some of you on the fourm know I have been tossing around the idea of surgery for some time now. Having been at this for some time now, with worsening symptoms I think I have come to the point of deciding to go ahead with surgery within the next year. (Due to financial reasons I would have to wait and prepare myself.) Here is the thing...The surgeon which would be preforming it is very skilled and had done many of them.....not that I still would not be nervous, I know the stats. lol.
Here is the question I have. As I am bilateral He is suggesting that both sides be done, 3 days apart. As long as there are no complications from the first one. Is this common? I havent seen anyone ever mention having it done this way before...from what I have read they are usually a year or so apart.
He is quite comfortable with this methood, and done it many times before this way...
Has anyone else here had both sides done at the same time?
Cheers,
Jay
