If you have health insurance, I’d suggest going to a cardiothoracic surgeon for a consult. Preferably one in a major city. They can tell you if you’re a good candidate and if you’re likely to have ongoing medical problems from the condition itself.

They’ll also be able to tell you if your insurance is likely to cover the procedure as non-cosmetic or not.

How do you plan on cooking the first one that dies? Over a fire? Chopped up in an oven? Teriyaki style?

Do you know what your Haller index was? Mine was just (as in .02) below the point health insurance will cover as medically necessary in the US.

I can fit a fist into my chest, but due to my overall large size the actual index is surprisingly low despite the large physical size of the deformity.
