Surgery is not used often to treat COPD, however, there are times that surgery is the only treatment choice for severe COPD. Discussing surgery with others who have undergone this process is best done alongside those who understand what you are going through.
On MyCOPDTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with COPD, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Surgery is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.
Here are a few question-and-answer threads about surgery:
How much does lung volume reduction surgery?
Who's had LVRS (Lung Volume Reduction Surgery) and likes results?
