Not OP but I got my bar taken out before my senior season of college athletics and I became twice the athlete I ever was, you feel like you can breath with a third lung

I had a nuss procedure 2 years ago and am due to get the bar out soon, so I know where you're coming from. No questions, I asked the doctor all of those. If you need any guidance pm me.

Asymmetrical more so than concave but not bad at all. My pectus was almost entirely on one side, overall totally pleased though. Took me much longer than a month to get back into things though

Probably harder to notice at that age. I played 4 years of varsity high school, had the surgery, and didn't reap the benefits until my last year of college. 18-21 already carries a ton of added athleticism for boys so that might have contributed. I just didn't notice until the bar was out

I had the same procedure when I was 18, bar got taken out after 3 years. Would've been in longer but the wires and screws began coming loose as I was playing a college sport with it in. Were you able to be active with the bar in?
