  2. Shalom Lauren,
    You look wonderful!!!! Your grandmother (Jan) is So proud of you. Praise the LORD. HE answers prayers and you trusted in HIM. HE never leaves us nor forsakes us. What a testimony for Yahweh. May HIS be glorified as you speak of your testimony to others. Amen.
    In Yahshua with love,

  3. Hi ya Lauren. I just had this PE correction surgery myself. I however chose to do it as an adult. I'm 43 y/o. I had a modified Ravitch repair done. It's proably a good thing you are doing so young. Just seems so much easier. I too have started a blog about my journey. Please feel free to check it out.

  6. Hi,

    I have a PE myself, I'm 21, and I'm thinking of doing it. More or less, my pectus is similar to what Lauren had, and I wanted to ask, did you want to do the surgery just for aesthetic purposes, or because the pectus was causing problems? My question is, was it compulsory?
    Please write me: erm.pictora@gmail.com

    And Lauren looks great, she looks quite happy. :)

    Best of Luck!

  7. Hi! My daughter is 6 and she is also named Lauren. She has a mild case of PE and I am hoping she won't need surgery. However, I'm concerned since she still has a lot of growing to do. I saw the before pictures and they didn't look that bad. I was hoping you can tell me what prompted you to do the surgery. I don't know anyone else with this condition and any help would be much appreciated.
