Hijacking one of the top comments to respond directly to you:
I’m a 15 year old male with Pectus Excavatum, and I went through a few consultations with different doctors to determine if I needed the surgery or not. They said that I could do it if I wanted to, but it wasn’t necessary, so I don’t have any current plans to go through with it (mine isn’t as extreme as yours). I was just wondering for in the future, in case I go through with it, how long is the overall recovery period? Will you have the bars in for a few years, and how much will that effect things like lifting weights and flexibility? I couldn’t get a very clear answer from all the doctors, so I was hoping you would know.
Thank you for doing this AMA, and I hope you have a speedy recovery!
