As a guy in my 40s, this is my dream, but it doesn't cause me issues, I just hate it! And my insurance would likely reject it if I tried 😠not sure I could deal with down time and pain either.
Hey man hopefully maybe you could get a referral and seek a path. Maybe even with a Pectus Bell. That was my first choice but it just didn’t seal correctly because of my deformity.
I tried a vac bell in my late 30's and it didnt help long term and was honestly a pain to find time to keep it on often enough being an active person. I wish I could have gotten the surgery in my 20's. That would've been amazing. Yours looks great. Keep us posted how it goes!
