Anyone have good experiences about VATS Biopsy?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I decided to go ahead with the minimally invasive, general anesthesia (VATS) with one incision, inpatient surgery. So it would be nice to hear that others didn't have a bad time with it! THANK YOU

      I postponed it because I just have not found anyone saying it was an ok recovery etc. At 67 my oxygen saturation still at 94-98 maybe I should just NOT have that surgery. The doctors say it's to know how to treat me, but the albuterol and steroid treatments in the nebulizer seem to work well. I realize I have had this probably since late 20s. So it is a slow progression. I am guessing sarcoidosis
