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!
Thanks Carrie. Do you plan to do the other side also?
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
Carrie
Thanks Carrie. I hope all your issues eventually resolve for you.
Jim
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.
Hi Isaiah!
Iam not sure is of yet..I have seen the neurosurgeon and am seeing physio who suggests a ct scan/angio of shoulder !upper brachial plexus !
I hope that you can get some treatment soon @Carrie68 , everything is so slow for those in Canada!
Thank you Jules!
Yes it sure is
