Yes, just uncomfortable walking with this plate in the chest. They put it to me 1 month ago. Hah, I remember how I screamed in intensive care and in an X-ray room.

I just got this surgery done about a week ago and rn all that bothers me is going to the bathroom. The surgery is a bit painful and annoying at first but trust me it is all worth it. Whoever is having this surgery, trust me you’re not alone. We’re all in this together.

I’m getting the nuss procedure in 4 days, I’m 21

My 18 yr old son just had the surgery one week ago. He smiled when I showed him a picture I took of the result while I was with him during post operation. He asked " is that me?" the nurse and me both said " Yep, that you!"

I was born with that condition and suffered from low selfesteem as well as from endurance issues like short breath and passing out while running. Doctors always told me "we don't recommend surgery since it is a huge medical intervention". Kept on struggling until I was 26. Then I eventually stumbled across a "new method" which was only practised by a few doctors here in Germany at that time. Got the surgery done and, apart from the the pain that became my companion for many months, I felt such a relief! A few weeks out of the hospital I put my endurance to a test and went for a run - 8 kilometers without passing out where I hardly managed to run 1 kilometer before. I'm 44 now and never regret it. I transformed me into a new person.

This runs deep in my family both of my older brothers chests go really deep and the same thing has started to happen to me. When i suck my chest in its really visible. I don’t want to get surgery I’m only thirteen. To all the people with severe cases i send you love.

For anyone wondering. I had the surgery done 6 months ago. I’m 17 so that’s usually the cutoff. I’ve had it my entire life and it was something I was self conscious about. The Haller index was 7.1 so you can image how deep it was. They had to put in two bars and I had to go back into surgery because they messed it up the first time. I’m fine now and I accept how I look. It will not immediately fix everything about your chest and body. Now that I am able to I have been working out 5 days a week. Im getting better. I recommend getting the surgery if yours is as severe as mine. Im glad I did it. I don’t think it wouldn’t been possible to fix naturally. For me it was a lot of pain. I woke up as soon as they were done and starting rolling me into the room. It is a lot of pain. So just be ready for that. You will be okay tho.

I'm 15, just had mine a week ago. Pain sucks and I only got one bar. I am writing this in bed and staying home from school. I have never really been self-conscious about my chest until about a year ago one of my friends pointed it out while we were in the pool. Seeing the change after the surgery opened my eyes to how bad it was. If anyone is reading this, the pain I'm feeling now is temporary, but I won't be self-conscious about it for the rest of my life. Reject weakness and embrace discipline!

​@@PolarVRhow is it now?

Me crying while watching this cause it looks so painful:

my family never made me feel different. Only realizing it could actually hurt your cardio and breathing.. i seriously was never aware people had stigma towards this.. I never tried to hide it or even considered it, i wonder now if it freaks people out when they see it for the first time. The way your family treats you can totally save you from so much. I'm grateful I had a circle of good people around me because I'm really shocked most people in the comments felt judged and insecure about it. I personally like the appearance and felt unique for it cause I was the only one of my siblings who had it, but I'm disappointed it could harm my lungs' capacity and heart, i hope my case is mild and can be compensated for by exercise. By the way, beauty standards will always change, I know it's difficult with all the shallowness in the media/schools/everywhere, but try to form your own standards as much as you can, change your circle if your current one is judgmental or shallow, have some independent thinkers around, you don't wanna be run by sheep, it's ironic i know! but beauty was never objective nor will it ever be if history is a decent indicator of the future.

My sister (yes even though it was common for boys than girls she had to get the surgery) she had to get surgery when she was 13. The doctors are going to get it out next month! She will be able to go on rides and other stuff she couldn't get to do with the bar! Oh i think we will have so much fun after her recovery. I'll give her a few weeks or days after the recovery, just in case it still hurts.

In 15 years old my parents dont want to let me have surgery when i want to do it so i can finally be normal like other people, only people with this problem will understand the pain we hold

very nice animation, i am a 21 year old male, i had one of the most severe cases, my haller index was 7.2 and my heart and lungs were being squished. Nuss wouuld not work so my surgeon did the rabitch procedure(cutting and getting rid of the bad cartilage and rebuild the whole chest wall), he also inserted a bar to reinforce the sternum, is been 2 years and i am getting the bar removed in 2 weeks. My breathing is better now and I live in Florida. Bad thing is i have a huge scar but does not matter because i feel better.

Turns out im past that by a decent margin. Id assume in a more legit scan I'd score like a 6 tho

Guys, we don’t need to be insecure about this. It makes us even more unique. Just jokingly tell people that you got punched really hard. They’ll laugh and you’ll laugh and they won’t think much of it. As long as it doesn’t affect your breathing or other functions, I think surgery isn’t necessary. I’m 17 now and noticed this when I was about 13. At first I was insecure but then I realized that I could either accept it and make the best out of it or dwell on it and stay insecure.

Anyone notice much fatigue and lack of energy with having pectus can’t say I’ve payed much a attention until abit later in life im 29?

I am 37 years old and I just finally found out that my condition has a name and surgery, I guess it's too late for me to do anything about it. I thought I was the only one with this.

How are u feeling now

I am a girl, I had the pectus excavatum. I did the surgery when I was 12 and last year I took my two lines off. it was very embarrassing for me when others asked me "do you know you have a hole?" apart from that I never complained and I always lived my situation well despite having my heart totally left (I could also feel it being squeezed to the side or even felt the skin move by putting my finger on the side of the chest) I don't know if I explained myself

I have this... I weighed 110 pounds. I knew I would get surgery for this after my insurance finally decided to cover it after many scans and referneces to doctors. My surgery is scheduled for the 31st of this month (Jan 31 2020) I knew 6 month in advance (since June 2019) that I would get surgery. I decided to push myself and see how much I could grow before then so during these last 6 months I started dieting, eating a lot of healthy calories, emphasizing on protein, also taking a mass gainer almost daily (serious mass is the name) and gyming at least 3 days a week and I am now 140 pounds. 30 pounds in 5 months... could have been more if I truly pushed myself and didn’t slack here and there but... now ima have surgery and I know once I recover I’ll be capable of even more... but yes u can gain mass it’s just tough man. My insta and Twitter are @tiltededdie for anyone that wants proof. Just sharing my story with others who share my pain. Bless guys

Doctors can slightly "shave" down the fronts of flared ribs, if it is extreme enough, I read a couple years ago.

The runs in my family both me and some of my cousins have this condition both boys and girls

my parents and i were always wondering why i had a hole in my chest. at least now i know why. i didn't have any surgery but somehow i have stopped having this condition as i grew up, maybe it was just due to bad habits or something

I found out I had this when I went to a doctor. I asked about the surgery and he explained it to me and said it can be dangerous. He said that some kid did the surgery and the bar hit his heart. I don’t have a severe case, I have a a small cave inwards. Does anyone know what are the chances of a surgery going bad or if it’s common with this type of surgery?

I got an operation years ago, on the NHS. Stigma was probably less as I'm a guy, but was still really depressing. Go to your GP and explain how down it makes you feel, they should do it, you'll just have to wait on the list a while. My operation was over 20 years ago, so things were a bit different. Good luck

Look into it. Maybe just go in for a consultation. I spent 18 years thinking that EVEN IF there was a surgical fix, it would be plastic surgery and therefore paid out of pocket. A few months ago i met w a specialist, and almost immediately he confirmed insurance would cover it. Its like 65k total but less rhan 2 thousand after insurance (around 1k for us because we have rlly good insurance). Even if it doesn't go through, might as well try. Everyone deserves to feel confident
