Thank you for posting this :)

How old are you? Would you say you have a high pain tolerance?

[@mandisorg9273]

+Richard Simmons I'm in my late twenties, and I would say I'm good with pain

[@mcj1ggl356]

Also have you noticed a difference in lung capacity?

[@mandisorg9273]

+Richard Simmons This is a tough one to explain. Breathing has definitely changed for me (and for the better) but I don't know if it's that I have MORE lung capacity. It's more that every breath I take now feels "fulfilled". I'm no longer having routine shallow meaningless-feeling breaths. The biggest change I see is when I exercise; I would get winded SO easily, and now I've been doing great!

what is the maximum age for the operation

[@mandisorg9273]

I'm not positive of the maximum age. I do know that there have been several patients over 50 years old and they have recovered well.

Thank you very much... this Chanel is a very motivational for all those who are suffering from this chest deformity... keep it up

[@mandisorg9273]

Thank you for the encouragement and kind words! I will most certainly keep posting :)
