Hi GrandmaCheri, and thanks so much for sharing the success you're having following this procedure. We really appreciate this type of feedback from community members. We value your candor here.

I am interested in contacting others who have had the Zephyr valves placed and how they are doing. I am heart failure and copd patient.

Hi GrammaCheri,
I had the valves inserted a year ago, and it has really helped. Like my pulmonologist says, I still know I have it, but I have gone from 24/7 use of oxygen to mostly just at night. What has your experience been?
