THEY'VE HAD LVRS
Following are excerpts from postings in my Guest Book  from those who have gone before us and have had  LVRS.  Obviously, we probably won't hear from those for whom the procedure didn't work as well as they had wanted and we've got to remember LVRS doesn't produce the same results in everyone, but it's encouraging to read about the "good ones".
JON
I had VATS-LVRS at the University of Washington Medical Center on 3-21-06.  I didn't experience the pain/muscle problems you noted and was on my way home on the fourth day.  It has given me a new lease on life and would recommend it highly to those who qualify.

FRED
I had LVRS on 9-8-99 by Dr. Cooper in St. Louis, Missouri.  Would not be here today without it.

BUNNY
I had LVRS on March 3, 2004, and it helped me so much; I can begin to tell you.

CATHY
It's been almost 8 weeks from the date of my surgery and I can say it was worth it.

CATHY (another Cathy)
I had LVRS 1.5 years ago - best thing I could have done.  You'll feel much better and the anxiety that goes with SOB will be gone.

MACUSN
Had LVRS in 2001 at Massachusetts General Hospital.  I really waited too long to have it done.  Was down to 16 capacity.  It increased to 30 after LVRS.  It was great and I'm sure I would be dead now had I not got it. [Macusn is presently on a TX list]
