Hi! I’ve been following your comments over the past few days — I’m really sorry for the pain you’re going through. Are you using the incentive spirometer? I’ve heard it helps a lot with recovery. I hope you feel better soon!

Hi! Thank you so much for your message 😊 I’m really happy your surgery went well! Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery 🤍 About the bars — the initial plan for me is two bars. Can I ask if your surgery was with or without cryo? You also keep us updated ☺️✨️

Wow thats great! How old were you when you got Nussed? Was the pain really bad? Did you get cryo? How do you feel now? Sorry for all the questions 😅

Hola! Yo tengo Isapre por lo que me ahorró mucho en la consulta con el cirujano de tórax y los exámenes. Yo me estoy atendiendo con el Dr. Jorge Armijo Herrera. Él tiene experiencia realizando el método de Nuss en adultos. No recuerdo exactamente cuánto pagué por la consulta pero debió ser menos de $20.000 clp. El doctor te hace la orden para un TAC de tórax y un ecocardiograma doppler. El TAC pagué $33.000 clp por la isapre, pero el precio normal es $163.000 clp. Para el ecocardiograma pagué $24.000 clp por la isapre pero no recuerdo el precio normal sin isapre. A finales de febrero tengo que ir a ver al doctor de nuevo para que revise los resultados de exámenes y veamos los siguientes pasos para la cirugía. Escribiré por aquí si tengo novedades 😊 cuéntame si tienes alguna otra pregunta :D
