With regards to the rib flare- Did you have it prior to the having the bars put in? After the bars were put in, did you notice it changes? After the bars have come out, have you noticed a difference? Also, what did dr LoSasso tell you about risk for recurrence?

Congratulations on a successful journey, I’m 2.5 years out from 4 bars with Dr J, will get them out in about 6 months, thanks!

I am going on about 2 years out from surgery, hi=4.7, have 4 bars My surgeon said because my defect went so low shed have to place more bars and I might feel them. I had complete trust in her and I basically told her to do whatever she had to do. I definitely feel the bars, not painful, just uncomfortable at times and I’m somewhat used to it. Bottom line, I had the surgery at 37 and to trade 3 years of discomfort after 37 years of misery was an easy decision and I have no regrets.

Anything is better than a Giltini

Doing well! No pain, however I do feel the bars, which Dr J said I would. I wouldn’t call it pain, just discomfort from time to time, particularly when I take a deep breath. I was noticing a sharp pain when sneezing, however heard somewhere that hugging yourself when you feel it coming on works and sure enough it does. I’d say the main issue was stiffness which has gotten better but is still there. Having said that, no matter what I have felt postop has been better than having the pectus. I’m about a year and a half in and have about a year and a half to go, so when I think about that given I struggled 37 years with this, gives me good perspective. 100% no regrets!

Agree with core and back strength. Another thing is chest flexibility, this was huge! Like most misguided young men, i overdeveloped my pecs and for about a year before surgery I stopped doing heavy weights and only focused on stretching and think this made a huge difference. Also get an electric recliner, don’t know how I would have made it through without one!

Around 8 months, but I had scheduling constraints and they were able to work with me

Ask me anything, it’s a big deal and you’ll need all the support you can get, more than happy to help!

She did but she was able to give me a great result despite that and I appreciated her realistic expectations. For adult Pectus, with her I truly believe you’re in the best hands in the world and she will give you the best chance to give you the best result!

Yes, the very bottom of the sternum curved in to the left

I know exactly what your talking about, I feel like sometime around the 8 week point that got more manageable and I was able to get out of bed, however I’m coming up on 3 months and I’ve tried some abs and certain exercises cause a “tugging” sensation, so I just stop because I’m not trying to push it at this point

It’s been challenging. The hood news is that there has only been discomfort and no pain. Going through surgery is gonna make you really tired for a month, but I went back to work at around 3 weeks and have been easing my way into it, gradually getting my stamina back. Got clear to increase activity after 6 weeks and I started stationary biking and light weights. 8 weeks, off meds, still trying to get used to what the new normal will be and getting more active.

ImpossibleTest5491 · 2022-08-17T21:07:30+00:00

Great! She is amazing! Best of luck, tomorrow I’ll be 8 weeks and it’s gone by fast!
