00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:01.060
Your pectus surgery

00:00:01.060 --> 00:00:01.950
is booked, and

00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:02.680
right now you

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:03.360
are doing one

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:03.920
of the things

00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:04.720
that hurts your

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:06.170
recovery most, just

00:00:06.170 --> 00:00:07.260
sitting there, waiting.

00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:08.130
I'm Mihail, I

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:09.430
had pectus excavatum

00:00:09.430 --> 00:00:10.095
and rib flare

00:00:10.095 --> 00:00:10.760
myself,

00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:11.880
and since 2015

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.780
I've helped over

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:13.690
a thousand people

00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:14.580
fix their pectus

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:15.670
without a surgery,

00:00:15.670 --> 00:00:16.180
but if you

00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:16.880
decided for a

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:17.860
surgery, my job

00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:18.540
right now is

00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:19.270
to get you

00:00:19.270 --> 00:00:20.100
strong and back

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:20.640
on your feet

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.000
after surgery. The

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.150
next 6-8 weeks

00:00:23.150 --> 00:00:24.110
can decide your

00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:25.840
recovery. The operation

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:26.780
fixes your chest

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:27.340
in a day,

00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.040
but how fast

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:28.690
you get off

00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:30.120
the pain medications,

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.070
how quickly your

00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:32.220
lungs recover, how

00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:32.960
soon you feel

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:33.850
normal, a lot

00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:34.430
of that gets

00:00:34.430 --> 00:00:35.700
decided before you're

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:36.260
ever on the

00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:37.140
table. Can you

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:37.950
train your lungs

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.180
before someone operates

00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:40.000
next to them?

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.340
Yes. Can you

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:42.130
fix your posture

00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:42.820
before the bar

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:44.360
goes in? Yes.

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:45.040
Your body heals

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:46.310
with whatever conditioning

00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:46.990
it actually has

00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:47.500
on the day,

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:48.090
not what you

00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:49.320
wish it had.

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.080
So, I built

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:51.840
a pre-surgery program.

00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:53.550
Breathing training, posture

00:00:53.550 --> 00:00:54.400
work, the vitamin

00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:55.060
D and protein

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:56.080
basics your body

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.020
needs, final week

00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:57.760
with a packing

00:00:57.760 --> 00:00:58.990
checklist, the exact

00:00:58.990 --> 00:00:59.890
questions to ask

00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:01.220
your surgeon, workout

00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:01.840
plans to get

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.150
stronger and much

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:04.460
more. That waiting

00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:05.530
anxiety feels worse

00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:06.370
than the surgery

00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:07.320
itself. A plan

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:07.960
is the best

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:09.040
fix for that.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:09.720
Every day you

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:10.200
need to do

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.120
something and get

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.160
active, instead of

00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:12.770
waiting on a

00:01:12.770 --> 00:01:14.040
calendar. Click the

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:14.780
link below and

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:15.390
get ready for

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:15.880
surgery.
