Anyone had Zephyr Valve Procedure at Mayo Clinic?

I had it done in Dallas. Unfortunately I got a lot worse and my doctor couldn’t understand why. So they removed the valves anbou 6 weeks later and I improved, but never got back to base. I was called into his office a week later and was informed that my CT scans were switched with another patient so I had the wrong valves placed in the wrong position. Now I’m terrified to even try again because what happens if it gets even worse and I get even worse. I lost all confidence

@bmore65 OMG! What a terrible experience for you! I do not blame you one bit for your lack of confidence. I am a nurse and I know things happen, but they should not and it is devastating when it happens to you. Are you doing ok? How are your ADLs? Can you exercise, walk?
