Thank you  for acknowledging the  emotional/physical roller coaster!  I had my Nuss procedure 3 1/2 weeks ago.  My pain has been rough,  but I think not having people around who understand how helpless I feel and how scary not knowing what "normal" recovery is, has been the worst part.  I'm grateful I found this website!

I am 43 years old and was originally diagnosed with PE at age 19.  They did an ultrasound and cardiopulmonary tests (but no CT for some reason) at that time.  They determined I was 70% of normal, and not  "bad enough " for surgery.  Fast forward to just prior to my procedure, my Haller index was 5.1, and PFT's 40% of normal.  I was tired all the time, I could barely exercise, and any time I over did, I ended up nauseous and would lose the rest of my day.

I'm waiting for that magical turning point when I feel dramatically better, but for now, thanks for sharing your experiences !

And yes, Dr. J and her team were amazing.  I'm looking forward to seeing how this hopefully improves my life!
