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

[DanBBz]

damn i hurt my sternum doing 125lbs weighted dips and it took around a year to fully heal srs.

not too sure about the 4 weeks that's been said to you

I actually dropped out of sixth form halfway through my first year to get the operation done with the plan to re-sit the year in september but it's been delayed twice leaving me with only 3 weeks to recover before I re-sit the year.

I've been told some people who've had the same operationwhere back in work after 4 weeks so I should be fine with 3 weeks recovery before sixth form. I don't believe it myself either thow to be honest but there's not much I can do. 6 months minimum before I can lift againt thow which sucks =/

OP i have pectus exvactum too

Did you ever consider getting Nuss'd? In your avi it looks like it's a very mild case thow probably actually makes your chest look bigger.

My brother ha this same exact procedure done almost 2 year ago. But he was out cold.. He said the worse part is having to sneeze... That and pulling the balloon out of his pen0r ( catheter)

He still has the bar in.. And can feel the bolts on the side when he does push ups

Can he lift weights no problem?

He can do everything but go heavy on chest.. Only cuz he says the bolts pinch his nerves when he does heavy chest.. But I think he's more into crossfit kinda things now... Yeah yeah I know....

I just hope I can lift fine 6 months after it, is he having the bar taken out soon? It's normally 2-4 years after you get it taken out.

[DanBBz]

Thanks brah repped, it's free in the Uk but it's been delayed twice leaving me with only 3 weeks now to re-cover for college.... so I could end up paying for it in the long run. I'm already a year behind in college because I dropped out half way through last year to get my operation done and then it's been delayed until now.

stay safe brah

[custom981]

Good luck man, I hope it works out for you.

[Dual]

good luck, i have mild pectus but with bad flaired ribs, thats why i stopped lifting because ill never be aesthetic

[WPBrown]

gl with the op bro, hope all goes well.

as a fellow PE sufferer, i know that feel... im glad attitudes have changed and it's getting treated as more then just a "cosmetic" plastic surgery

He says he wants to eventually, but he's read all the stories that as soon as people take it out half or all of the chest caves back in within 6 months... To many YouTube vids I think..


And to answer price question.... 180k I think is what my parents said they billed the insurance company ( hotel hospital room etc etc also paid). Cost my parents 20 dollar co-pay to see the dr the first time lol

Don't quit lifting because of flared ribs man.... they're hardly noticable unless your lieing on your back or something and thanks.

Yeah I've agreed to be part of a project to prove it's not just for cosmetic reasons it effects your health aswell because the goverments trying to cut the funding for the operation.

LOL I could probably use mine as a cereal bowl, you know if he's having an operation?

In birmingham brah it's like 100 miles from where I live but there's a team of surgeons who are some of the best in the world coming over and getting 8 of the same operations I'm having done in 2 days.

I don't think he is he's a 26 now is broke as ****

[jj1421]

yo OP i have this as well, been emailing one of the leading surgeons in the world for this (Dr. Schaarschmidt from Helios in Berlin), he's done the surgery over 250 times and this is what he said to me.

"school/deskwork is possible after 2.5-3 weeks, physical work after 4 weeks,

sports and weight lifting should be possible after 6-8 weeks starting with half weights."

Probably less time to lift weights with him cause he doesn't use stabilisers

[jackjonez]

Best wishes with the surgery bro, it'll be worth it.

You've had the Nuss procedure done? It was worth it yeah? Any advice during recovery and do you think I'll be fine in college after 3 weeks?

[jackjonez]

Are you having it done privately or on the health service?

[DanBBz]

Health service but I'm having some of the best Nuss Procedure surgeons in the world to do my operation.
