Nate Kuhns Hi Ron, I had to have a full sternotomy due to the aneurism. Minimally invasive wasn't an option for me. I will say after six weeks I feel really good, I can even sneeze again! :) I still have a 10lb restriction for another two weeks but honestly it sounds much worse than it actually is, in fact I still think the chest tubes and their incisions hurt more in the first week or two.
