Just had my 2nd lung collapse almost a year after the first . The doctors are recommending me to get a VATS surgery but I’m not sure what to expect post surgery. I have an appointment tomorrow to finalize my decision and I could ask them but I also want to know the experiences of people who had it done.
Do you regret doing it?
Are there any persistent pain even years after the surgery?
Were you able to return to normal life after, like swimming, lifting weights etc?
this was the worst thing i have ever gone through in my life yet. I still have the tube in me
