6 months progress and my operation on my Severe Pectus Excavatum. (pics)

[DanBBz]

Started gym around 6 months ago weighing in at 135lbs, I've only got one pic pre-gym as you can see skinny as phuck



Bulked up to 165lbs here's a few pics sorry there's a lot I've no idea how to pose











and my wheels lost a lot of size from walking around 10 hours a day at work and missing leg day =/



You'll of noticed that my chest isn't normal. I was born with Pectus Excavatum and it's got severe as I've grown older so it's pretty much impossible for me to be aesthetic. I've decided to get an operation done called the Nuss Procedure to attempt to correct it. I've been given a date of 10/08/2012 for my operation after seeing my surgeon a few times to have tests done etc.

The operation simplified is basically having 2 incisions at each side of my chest near my ribs, a camera goes in one incision and a bar goes in the other incision. The cameras so the bar doesn't go into my heart. The bar gets pushed into my chest behind my sternum and then the bar gets twisted round forcing my sternum to snap so it's infront of the bar flattening my chest out. I'll be having an epidural for the pain but I've been told it'll still be a "deahtly pain" recovering. It takes around 4 weeks to recover for everyday life and I'm starting back at college in September so I'll only have 3 weeks to recover.

I'll have a bar in my chest for 2-4 years after the operation and won't be able to go to the gym for a minimum of 6 months. I'll update the thread with pics of my chest after the operation, hopefully it goes well.

edit: for everyone saying it's not bad here's a pic from a bad angle

I see what you are talking about OP, but I think you're making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. It doesn't look that bad at all. Sure, it's noticeable, but I wouldn't do a double take or anything at the beach.

[JamesMUSCLE]

Strong cawk OP.





























































nohomo.

[Firepanda]

I have a sternum inflammation problem, sometimes it hurts like FCUK to breath - like really hard to draw in breath

Don't look forward to the recovery brah, especially since they're gonna snap your shit up

Thanks, repped you. I have to start sixth form college in Septemember 3 weeks after my operation, I'm already a year behind because I dropped out last year to get the operation done and it got delayed until now.

[Punterz]

[SlovakjOu]

[DanBBz]

If my PE wasn't severe I wouldn't get the operation either bro but I could lift for years and even cycle and would still look unaesthetic with my t shirt off which is why I'm getting it done and thanks.

[SteelCrayon]

Good luck bro, I honestly couldn't notice a thing til last pic. It doesn't look bad but we tend to loathe over self-flaws. I was like that with gyno, had surgery and now might have to do it again because right pec is permanently flexed

Yeah in my last pic i'de say it looks pretty phucking bad, it also makes my ribs stick out loads called "flared ribs" and causes my heart to be compressed which isn't a good thing when I plan to bulk up to 200lbs but the main reason I'm having it done is it's impossible for me to be aesthetic without a t shirt on even if i lifed for years. Goodluck if you have your gyno operation for the 2nd time.

[Akebane710]

gjdm on the progress OP. Keep it up. You'll be fine.

[TheRealZen]

Nice work man, good luck with the OP.

[Zen18]
