Day - 11 after Modified Ravitch Procedure for Pectus Excavatum

Day-11 after Modified Ravitch Procedure for Pectus Excavatum. The operation was 7 hours. The hospital stay was 6 days. Catheter was removed day 2. The first drain tube and oxygen tube removed day 3. Second drain tube removed day 4 and chest tube removed day 5. I am doing well and have lost 14 pounds since the surgery. Scar has almost healed. It was still leaking 3 weeks after but has since stopped. I'm back at work and even though I am not lifting anything it is very draining just to walk and talk and I struggle to get through the day. I work in a loud environment so I have to speak up which puts pressure on the chest. Constipation is still an issue even though I eased up on the drugs. I no longer take narcotics but I am still taking tramadol to sleep. You have to sleep on your back which is problematic without a sleep aid. I'll post a 30 day follow up shortly.
