my doctor wants me to have lung volume reduction surgery which I’ve been approved for.

Has any members had this surgery and if so has their breathing improved?

thanks

Some of our members have had it. I hope they will be along soon. Failing that, look at 'Related Posts' in the top right hand corner.

Hi I had LVRS in oct. 2018 . I have severe emphysema . It was a godsend. My breathing was a lot better altho not a cure I found it very beneficial. I wish you luck and just think positive . Babs xx
