I had right upper lung lobectomy in may and still not able to go to work or get on with long walks any one else the same
Hi Cinder7f2d0f it takes 3-6 months to recover from lung surgery. As well as doing your lung exercises, make sure you are walking regularly, building up the length of time of each walk. If you are concerned that it is taking longer than you anticipated or you are experiencing more pain than usual, then do talk to your clinical team about this.
I do all the above I suppose it's a slow process
