Hi, There's nothing to worry about. You'll simply go to sleep under general anaesthetic and wake up with it all finished. You may have a little discomfort from the surgery and drain tube but you'll have you're own morphine administer to use and and when needed. I went home after about three days. Good luck and treat it as a holiday.

Hiya

I just had a look on google, and your question was on there,, I didn't realise our qs went there!

Anway there are a few sites you may like to look at..

Apparently it is a video assisted thoracic surgery.

Wish you well.

Did you say you were going back to work tomorrow Mike. You're not still going are you? Don't you think it's a bit soon? You've only been out of hospital a few days and sounds as if you were quite ill. If you don't feel really well, don't push yourself. You don't want to end up back in again.

love, FF x
