Has anyone tell you that you look just like Nicolas Cage? Because you look like him 100%

[thejobproject]

I refuse to believe it! I have actually heard it before, but I refuse!

Dude,i hope all goes well.I've been through way to many surgeries and i know how hard it can be.Make sure they put you on the"pain meds pump"i don't remember the name but when u hurt u push the button and the meds go rite in.You don't have 2 wait 4 a nurse 2 give u pain meds.Good luck and i'll be checking back on u and hope 2 find u well in the following days.

Oh, I definitely got one of those! It's called an epidural, and mine when right into my spinal cord and killed all the pain below my shoulders. I would've been in serious pain with out it...

i'm 17 years old, is that a pretty good age to have this surgery done?

it worries me about health problems and i'm also very self concious. i was in the lunch line and this guy started making fun of it while i was with my friend. its not that bad but boy i wanted to knock his lights out!!!

Is interesting such structure of a thorax, doesn't disturb to cardiac muscle work, and respiratory ways?

[cunt12343]

my chest sticks out :s

[hilbert2547]

I have the same but not so deep. It is becomming deeper with the years?

[bikeiswhatido]

@Scrubs141 I'm no expert but i have talked to doctors and i think your age is fine. I'm 15 and am planning on getting it.

[bikeiswhatido]

@Killcasper94 I get your point. i have this as well but mine is fairly severe. I am a very active guy i play football,lacrosse i mountain bike snowboard and longboard. if your isnt that severe or if you are not a sporty guy you may not understand how hard it is. i'm always one step behind everyone else because my chest is putting pressure on my lungs preventing me from breathing fully. I'm planning on getting surgery in the next month or two because I simply can't live with it.

[judefekter]

Wait wait wait i got this to,ur saying something that was gonna pull my chest out isnt there?!

[keytek9]

@JamesWorldStudios stfu man ur not helping me

[DarioSwampy1]

hi i have pectus too :S i tryed swiming and all of that bud it didnt help those the surgery hurt ?

[ken060693]

without insurance, it costs about $25,000. my insurance had to cover it because of how deep mine was. you can go to a doctor ( i went to a personal trainer who specialized in pectus) to measure how deep it is, and they'll determine if you can get it. i think it's somewhere around 2.5 centimeters or something like that.

I have pectus as well. Can I see a picture of what a pectus looks like on a bodybuilder? Are you thinking about getting surgery or did you you already have one?
