I would like to know a bit more about collapsed lung. Can it be operated? I have already been in the chest tube couple of years ago and it seemed like everything was fine, but then the pain and discomfort came back again. I know what needs to be done, but honestly I am not thrilled with the procedure. Can collapsed lung be operated? Maybe that is a more permanent solution…

Well, I have to tell you that I had a terrible history with my collapsing lung. I have been in chest tube for so many times I can’t even remember the exact number. And at one point, doctors said that it is enough, that I have to go for a surgery. And now I feel fine. Although, there are some things forbidden to me, like flying and deep diving. Other than that, I think that you will be able to do what you want.
