37F — had surgery yesterday

Hi all. I am sure some of you remember me from past posts and my rare deformity. That said, I had surgery yesterday and I am on the road to recovery and a new lease on life. Happy to answer any questions, and will continue to update as things progress.

I had something like a modified Ravitch + breast implant explant.

Last photo is of my new hardware — I currently have 4 drains. They expect me to be in the hospital for a few more days. I already walked 2 laps around the hospital floor, but chest is very very tight.

Things you wish you knew pre-surgery… & go!

What are some things you wish you knew pre-surgery?

Are there any things you wish you did before getting it?

Any dos/donts/recommendations for pre and post surgery?

Mine is about 2 months away… thanks to all who contribute to this thread! I am trying to mentally prepare for what’s to come.

Anyone gotten Nuss or Ravitch at Cleveland Clinic?

How did you find the hospital and your surgeon?

Has anyone had surgery performed by Dr Hyung Joo Park, specifically?

Thank you.
