My husband had 6 of these valves put in just over a week ago. Should you feel the benefit immediately or does it take a couple of weeks? Thank you.

One of our members documented his journey after having valves fitted. You may find it an interesting and informative read. See his posts here:
I just read the link provided by mrsmummy, it really is very interesting and well documented
Hi
How is your husband now.? My hubby has had this procedure twice in one lung (other not suitable) and on both occasions , after initial amazing deflation, re inflation occurred. He is due to go for one final attempt next month but, to be honest,, he is a lot worse than he was prior to starting this journey. The CT scan showed movement of one valve and growth of lung tissue over another a month or two after each procedure. I would be interested to hear from others who may have had a similar experience.
Thanks
