Hello @brayimee,

I'm glad to hear that your surgery is over and you are in the healing part of the procedure.

I was wondering if you could tell us what was involved in the surgery?

Wow! I've been off the boards awhile. Ribs feel pretty good, but I have also battled SIBO for a year along with ribs. No wonder my pain was so bad.
My surgery involved a small resection of rib 8 cartilage and repair of rib 10 which was hypermobile and all over the place. So now, 10 is sutured to the tip of rib 8 with 9 sutured special in-between. My rib 9 was poking my diaphragm a lot and causing a lot of spasms.
Usually cases are not quite this difficult and surgery is about an hour. Mine was 2.5 I believe.
So sorry it took me so long to respond.
Aimee
