Pain after robotic assisted lobectomy: How long does it last?

All surgery zaps energy and certainly this is no exception. I don’t live near a Mayo Clinic and I had a complication that required me to stay in the hospital several extra days. Our trip home was about 6 hours (plane and car) and I was exhausted from it. I napped or at least rested each day for several weeks, but also took walks and did social things most days. I don’t know how old you are, but I was in my mid-70s when I had my lung cancer surgery. Respect your doctors and your body and you should do well

Thank you. I am 58 years young. I figured on probably a few naps during the day, but I do want to make sure I get up and walk a lot. It’s just good to read that most are saying they were doing pretty well afterward. I am doing lung exercises now, before I go in. I’m using a little breather called a lung expander, and have been walking briskly for at least a mile every night and running up and down a flight of stairs five times each day besides my regular up and down about 3-5 times for dog duty. Thank you again and I hope you continue to do well!
