Just had my 2nd lung collapse almost a year after the first . The doctors are recommending me to get a VATS surgery but I’m not sure what to expect post surgery. I have an appointment tomorrow to finalize my decision and I could ask them but I also want to know the experiences of people who had it done.
Do you regret doing it?
Are there any persistent pain even years after the surgery?
Were you able to return to normal life after, like swimming, lifting weights etc?

Why is your thorax so leaky in the first place? I thought pneumothorax only happens after relatively severe injuries.
I have no idea. I was diagnosed with primary spontaneous pneumothorax
I’m not a doctor at all, so I’ll assume, you have a tiny-caliber sniper following you.
