How soon did nakaji get you in for an appointment?
It was something like 6-8 weeks for the consultation, 6 more weeks for the first surgery and then I waited 3 months for the second surgery.

Hi Carrie,
I know this reply is to an old post but I was wondering how your surgery went with Dr. Cognetti and Dr. Heller. I have Eagle with left IJV compression and may need the styloid removed as well as a C1 shave. I have an appointment scheduled with Dr. Cognetti but it isnāt until Nov. Thanks.

Hi Jim!
I highly recommend both Cognetti & heller!
My surgery went well and I have had great results and you canāt even see my scar!
I do have other issues on my right side but as far as the left I am grateful I had it done
The entire hospital amd the team were great!

Hi!
I donāt believe I need to I had dr Periera in Toronto who stented the right side at my C5-7 a couple years ago!
That said I do have C1-2 issues I am trying to deal with here in Canada & I also have braciocephalic compression & TOS which is frustrating

Good to read your update, @Carrie68. Iām sorry you still have some major compressions to deal with. Is there anyone in CA who does TOS surgeries? We have some members who also have brachiocephalic compression. I recall there isnāt surgery for that problem, but things are changing so quickly in the medical world so there may be something thatās being done now.
