To people who had pneumothorax surgery, How are you doing now?

Just had my 2nd lung collapse almost a year after the first . The doctors are recommending me to get a VATS surgery but I’m not sure what to expect post surgery. I have an appointment tomorrow to finalize my decision and I could ask them but I also want to know the experiences of people who had it done....

I have pretty much the exact same experience, but mine was 30 years ago. If I do something extreme I can still get a partial collapse, but they always heal and aren’t too bad. The surgery is, honestly, the worst thing ive ever experienced (this includes later cancer surgeries) but was worth it in the end.

I have a number of small scars from my surgery for this and when people would ask me how I got my scars id whisper “Snipers man, snipers”

I play Trackmania at least once a day. The community is so nice and friendly and the racing at high speed is so calming for me.
