Zephyr valve procedure

I would appreciate hearing from your experience of having had the procedure. Both good and bad results. I'm hoping to get as much information as possible before I decide whether to undergo the procedure myself.
Details from before - were you scared, and how did you manage the fear? Details from the hospital experience after the procedure, such as whether you had a lung tear afterward and how difficult that was to heal. And any other information about the zephyr valve procedure you would like to provide. Thank you very much for your help.

  1. Hi . You are smart to do some research before you make a decision. I hope you get lots of input from the community. While you wait, here is an article with plenty of comments from members considering treatment or who've already had the zephyr valve procedure: https://copd.net/forums/zephyr-valve-treatment-discussion. I hope this helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
