benzo41190 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 No, It was Cheerios And you can really see how deep it is on the last angle, even with the wide angle lense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahTheBoa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 That's pretty cool. I used to have P.E., but I got it corrected recently because it was rather severe. I never ate cereal out of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 im going to have it corrected over the summer. How long does it take for recovery, and, is there a scar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahTheBoa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Recovery depends on which procedure you have done. I had the Nuss procedure and recovery was about a week in the hospital and 2-3 more weeks after that. This website has a lot of useful information about pretty much everything about correcting it. http://pectusinfo.com/main.htm [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 yeah, it is getting pretty bad right now. Im on the swim team and sometimes my heart will just start pumping very hard, very fast. I can actually see my chest going up and down. It like get worse every year, so its to the point where i wake up and cant breath. Im just worried about recovery and the scar. Especially for beign on the swim team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahTheBoa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 With the nuss procedure there is not much of a scar. There are 2 that are on the sides of your chest that will be covered by your arms anyway and there may be one in the middle of your chest right under the sternum. That's about it for scars. The other procedures leave more noticeable scars. As I said before, recovery is not really bad. Sometimes there are sharp pains when you move, but those go away soon after you leave the hospital. You could probably be physically active within 2- 2 1/2 weeks after leaving the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
