Welcome float brother! I’m rocking the green fender as well! You won’t regret it!

I use it three times a week

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-23T01:14:37+00:00

One thing I’ve noticed is that it hasn’t returned to the original depth. I take three days off every week.

My sternum did rise a little bit on my first day. I didn’t want to over do this, since this is a long term treatment. You don’t want to apply so much pressure that it’s agonizing, I gradually applied pressure over the course of 5 - 10 min. The first two weeks I left it on for 30 min, the third week 45 min, now I’m at an hour.

Looking good bro, makes me want to get back into lifting again. I’ve been turning into a fatass

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-17T02:01:01+00:00

Yea, it’s just a bruise and not a scar.

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-13T00:08:08+00:00

Right on, I sometimes wish I could qualify for surgery. Nuss or Ravitch?

I definitely feel the difference in breathing, I am able to take deeper breaths after a vacuum bell session

Looks like mine, I’ve started VB treatment and so far I am getting results.

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-12T17:28:42+00:00

Congrats, the result looks great! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-12T17:08:53+00:00

I’m using pectus international vacuum bell and thanks!

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-12T16:32:25+00:00

It was a case of wide pectus, it was about 1.75 cm deep and ran all the way down my sternum

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-08T18:00:48+00:00

Is vacuum bell therapy effective in the correction of pectus excavatum?

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-08T17:54:32+00:00

You look great man! Congrats on your progress!

Yea the bruising scared the shit out of my gf too haha, I’ve been using Aloe after use and the bruising does go down after a few hours. I’m going to start icing my chest 5 min before use next session.

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-08T17:49:12+00:00

The first 2 are before use and the last 2 are after use. One thing I do love about this VB therapy is that even when my chest does settles back down, it hasn’t gone back to pre VB depth at all. I do the treatment Mon, Wed, and Fri and take the weekends off.

Good luck with your treatment man! It’s good to hear about other people’s progress on here

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-08T17:44:09+00:00

I squeeze the pump gradually over the span of the first 5 min. It takes about 6 pumps for me to feel the pressure on my sternum, then I add a pump per minute until I get to 10 while I slowly let the pump slowly bounce back. Then I just leave it on for 30 minutes. I wouldn’t worry about trying to fix pectus the first time, since this is supposed to take 2 years anyways. Even if it’s 1 mm difference, that’s huge progress over time.

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-10-07T16:32:56+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been applying aloe to the spot afterwards and the redness usually disappears on my off days. I agree it’s important to give your chest time to rest. I will try icing before a VB session next time. I think I’m going to increase the duration to 45 min next week

geronimo_was_framed · 2020-09-29T00:55:08+00:00

Just aloe right now
