HI

Very pleased for you! I have heard very good things about this particular procedure. I am a 65 year old female with severe COPD & Severe Pulmonary Hypertension I too am hoping to qualify for this LVR surgery at some point as it was mentioned as a possibility by a couple of consultants at Harefield .Keeping fingers crossed. Once again

Once again, Congratulations.

Regards

Malinka

Hello Travis,

I'm so pleased for you and envious. What exactly did you have before your op' ? Did you have bronchiectasis and/or emphysema or something else? XX
