hello, and good morning, am pleased you are at the stage to have your surgery, but sorry you are at severe like myself, firstly I have heard this surgery is good for persons who I met at my Respiratory group , I too have severe, 62 , and very restrictive to what I can do on a daily basis, I have been referred to the Royal Brompton for a referral for LVR /valves can you share with me and others what was your journey to get to the stage you are now at . Many thanks , Trevor

Hi. Did you get the Zephyr valves?

I'm curious as to how you're doing and if you'd be willing to share a little more details about the procedure?
