Day 1 - Pectus Excavatum Ravitch - Just after the 7 hour surgery

Just after the 7 hour surgery, I awoke and took this video.
NOTE: Shortly after this video I was in EXTREME pain. MY family had left for the night and my asking for help went unanswered until the following morning when a nurse did an ice chest to see that it was in fact not working. All through the night I could not sleep and the nurses would comment "Honey, if your epidural is not working, you would not be talking". I thought perhaps that I was just under a huge amount of pain and kept quiet to some degree before it felt just too horrible

how badly did this hurt? i'm only 15. I don't wanna get a surgery thats gonna be extremely painful. I men i don't like having PE but i'm afraid that this surgery might not be worth not being able to play sports.

@EIRTY - Any surgery hurts a bit, but honestly they have you so full of anti pain meds that you do not feel much. The stress of the small amount of pain is well worth the results to your health.

i need it but 7 houres is to long :( i need it so i can swim again, i hides my cave chest in shame

[xodusboy]

@YaWatBruv - Seven hours is too long for you? For a life free from the physical limitations you may have?

[XscXps3]

Can you die in this operation ? (Sorry looked online does not tell you)

[xodusboy]

@XscXps3 - All surgeries have some risk involved. It is important to recognize though, that the worry and fear involved will only hold you back in life. Obviously you should do your own research, and the more you know, the less fearful you will become. I would encourage you to read up on the very minimal risks involved, but more-so, the extraordinary benefits you will receive.

Oh my god, I'm very close to surgery and just the fact that the surgery can take 7 hours freaks me out. But I will still go for it.
