I Had Pectus excavatum repair surgery one year ago. It went well and I was up and about Immediately. walked a mile around the floor the second day post-surgery. I am having heart issues again. Pectus repair was to take pressure off my heart and was successful. Trouble is the pectus caused damage to my heat. Bad enough to cause heart issues.
Got better for a while post-surgery but now I need open heart surgery to repair the mitral valve and the septum. Not looking forward to it. Good thing is I am otherwise healthy as a horse and a good 20-30 years younger than most of my docs’ patients. This is the only major health issue I have ever had, aside from a ruptured appendix when I was about 12.
Any experience with recovery times? When were you back to full strength? any lasting ill effects?
