Has Anyone Had The Zephyr Valve Or Lung Reduction Surgery?
I recently met with a surgeon regarding the Zephyr valve procedure. I was wondering if anyone out there has had that procedure as well as the lung reduction surgery. I am in the process of moving forward with this and any information or anecdotes would really be appreciated.
Thank you.
I'd suggest you talk further with the surgeon and ask to speak with patients who've had the surgery, both people who had positive results and those for whom the results weren't positive (valves removed because they weren't successful, or pneumonia and/or pnemothorax as complications). Then you'll have a better idea of your surgeon's record and whether you want to be part of it.
Thanks Jean.
