Will I miss part of my lung after lung surgery?

We measure your lung function before surgery to determine just how much lung we can remove. You may be somewhat more winded when you do heavy exercises after lung surgery such as mowing the grass or vacuuming the floor, but generally speaking, most people do not miss the amount of lung we remove. If you have severe lung disease before surgery, of course, lung surgery will not improve the situation whatsoever.
