Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments I met with a thoracic surgeon today as a referral from my pulmonologist. No definitive decision on surgery yet, he want 2 more tests. But he did discuss the potential/likely surgery. It would be a lung volume reduction surgery for both lungs. He described a week in the hospital and a month in recovery. Both seem really long and not what my pulmonologist suggested. Anyone go through this? I was under the impression this would be 2/3 days hospital and home for a week or two. Thanks all.
