I had surgery 2 months ago, ask anything

Hi everybody, i’m 21 and 2 months ago i had surgery, pectus carinatum was a huge part of my life, i’ve always been ashamed of it, it didn’t matter how much I worked out or tried to change my body in any way, i still felt that ‘shame’ with me. I have been bullied cause of it and i couldn’t get past it, i tried to accept it for a lot of years but it hurt me so bad when i watched myself in the mirror, nobody has seen me without a t-shirt in 8 years and i said no to a lot of experiences cause of it. I’m a very shy person and i find very difficult to open to other people, so nobody really know why i didn’t take my t-shirt off, until one day i decided to change that, surgery has been for me the first step to accept myself in a long time and i’m grateful for it. I know some of you maybe say that i could just accepted it and i chose the easiest way( the surgery), but i really couldn’t, i tried and tried for a lot of years but i always felt that i was wrong, that the body i was born with wasn’t really mine, and over the years this feeling grew stronger. Now, 2 months after surgery, i feel better, and i’m happy i decided to do it, i can’t really put into words how i feel, but it was the best decision for me. For anyone out here who is struggling with this physically and mentally just know that you are not alone, and if you have any questions about anything i’ll be happy to answer to any of you.

Update: I forgot to mention that after the surgery there will be some bloating on stomach area, and your body will change a bit for some time, at first i was scared but then it went away after a month and half, so no need to worry for anyone who plan to do surgery.

( sorry if i made some errors and i could’t express myself better, but i cant’ really find the words since i’m not a native English speaker.)
