Surgery

[Version 1.3]

yo guys,

Just wanted to know how many of you have had surgery, I may have to have a operation called "The Nuss Procedure" to correct my funnel chest or Pectus Excavatum.

I've never had a op before so i just wanted to know what to expect - Before and after.

If anyone has had this done before let me know. (any info would be nice)

My friend had a funnel chest, ****ing massive. Had surgery and now it looks like a little dent. Though he said it was awful as he couldn't drink or smoke for ages, as well as be in hospital for a while.

Have to say it was incredible, that is, the difference afterwards. However he couldn't eat cereal from his dent anymore, which was his trademark trick at parteeeyyys.

Good luck anyways. Had a friend that just had knee surgery today, he's gone under loads of time. He say's it's a bit of a mind**** falling asleep somewhere and waking up somewhere else.

cheers shaba - i heard a mix so far - obviously the op wont bother me as i wont be awake, I handle pain fairly well but its just the waiting to be in pain part im not looking forward to .

I didn't understand any of that.

I didn't understand any of that.

My friend would lie on his back, we'd pour some cereal and milk in the dent and he'd eat it. He had surgery to make that 'dent' less of a dent. The same surgery v1.3's having!

OH MY GOD im creeped out

People with Pectus Excavatum look like they've been punched in the chest by Superman, HAHA!

 

[Version 1.3]

Well, Me and superman are pretty close friends - he wouldn't do that. My chest is not as bad as the picture above.

Just got back from the docs - Few blood tests ( not sure why ), breathing is okay, faint heart murmur apparently so i'll be going to hospital for xrays and other things at some point - its all very very exciting ><!

Daft question... But I'm assuming you was born like that? It's not something that can just... "happen"?

 

[Version 1.3]

yeah i was born like that. it happens to 1/1000 children apparently more often in males. im surprised the docs never noticed it to be honest.

 

[Breezer]

I hope everything goes well for you buddy, i've only been under major opp once. Please allow me to explain...


I split my ball sac in half.



Again , hope all goes well

 

[Version 1.3]

I split my ball sac in half.

No complicated technical terms, Very direct and easy to understand. A well written explanation. - It makes me weep just thinking about it.

Thank you.

Did they fall out?

 

[Breezer]

No, they didn't fall out as they're attached, but the left one took enough damage to make it useless.

I just noticed the picture above, my mate had the same thing , he used to catch juggling balls with it...or atleast he threw them and it landed in the hole lol. Not as exciting as pouring milk in it though.

 

[Version 1.3]

i feel kinda pathetic now i can't catch balls or eat cereal from my deformed chest.

Asked my knee surgery friend some more stuff about surgery. Well interesting. He said it takes about 10 seconds for you to fall asleep. I wondered whether or not you get scared about that, to which he replied "there's not enough time to get scared". He said there's no sense of time and it feels like you've just blinked your eyes, and right after you wake up you fall asleep again.

Hope I never have to have surgery though, lol. No matter what you say, seems scary.

What the government isn't telling us is that it's a serum that puts your body in a sleep but your soul on another plane of existance.

I've had minor surgery and was put to sleep.

They basically lap you down, talk to you and have a normal convo with you, the next thing you know is someone waking you up. Quite weird really. I asked them to put me back to sleep as I had a dream and England were seconds away from winning the World Cup (I was still under the influence of pain relief, so high).
