Hello all I am a 23 male who has had this done. Now when I was a kid I was not able to run around like the other kids and so I'd get breathless but not faint but I'd go very white in the face.

If you'd like to email me about what my experiences have been by all means please do so email sean.griffin@pacific.net.au
