Eveyone is different, so I can only answer from my experience. I still have a small amount of fluid in my right lung, but it never gets worse. I don't even know it's there. The first few months you will be a walking barometer. When the air pressure changes, so will the pressure on your lungs. It's sort of strange, not terribly uncomfortable -just weird. Yes - you will get your life back quicker than you think. The only pain I had was the pulling of the tube and maybe a day of uncomfort thereafter. After that, it was all uphill. I used to count the steps from the parking lot to the front door of Walmart - rest. Then count the steps to the first register - rest. Then make it to the pharmacy in two more tries...Shortly after the procedure, I was walking the mall!!! Your welcome...you will feel soooooo much better!
