I had a parysed left diaphragm ! It was non functioning and was pushed way up into my left lung ! I had surgery July 15th and the surgeon used a robotic procedure ! While in my chest, he corrected the middle of my diaphragm where it was bowed up and he got it down where it was level ! My breathing is better now !

Seniordon, it is uplifting to read a positive outcome story. Were you having chest surgery for something else or was the surgery specifically to help the paralyzed diaphragm?
