I have numbness on that side of my chest and on my shoulder which I think is permanent, but it hasn't made any difference to my general fitness or ability to do anything.
Out of interest, I posted some photos of my scar on this site (paste "thread148013.html")
Like I mentioned on that thread - it actually is a bit wider and whiter now, but almost completely flat

Someone with a good result from the surgery.. Im very glad to hear it.
I think you are very right though general fitness and prior health and age would have alot to do with how well you recover. Also the severity of the complications awswell.
I thinking people with more mild symptoms will have a much better result. So that is making me feel alot more positive about my situation. I also spend alot of time being active and working out and i really dont want to give that up.
