Are you sure? If there are any indents or holes in your rib cage then you can get that fixed.

I know what its like to be skinny and you know what the secret to adding weight is? Milk. Drink a half a gallon a day and that will put some weight on you. Throw in some bodyweight exercises (google it) for your chest and you'll be better than ever
