I had my right middle and right lower lobe out July 27, 2023 and now feel back to normal. The worst part of the surgery is the chest tube that usually is removed after 2 days. If the surgery is done VATS it will take less time to recover. That’s 3 incisions instead of one big incision. I used a heating pad on my side and that worked well. I’d also suggest sleeping on a recliner. It was far more comfortable the first few weeks then trying to lay in bed. Where is your surgery at?

My surgery is next week. Nov. 21
It will be done robotically.
They will take my lower right lobe.
I am having it done at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA

As my friend Scarlett would say, “I’m just pea green with envy” 😁
I had lower left lobectomy May 25th. I’m doing well but don’t really know if ’back to normal’ is something I should expect. I have residual rib & diaphragm pain and exertional shortness of breath. If that improves I will be happy!! If not, I can live with it.
