Tom Galli 3,083 Report post Posted January 10 Michele, Yes I had this symptom after one of my thorasic surgery procedures. I felt much better after the fluid was drained. Hope you do also. Stay the course. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan Cornett 1,093 Report post Posted January 12 I had fluid in my lung post-lobectomy longer than I expected. I didn't have to have it drained but my understanding is that the fluid is not uncommon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouT 317 Report post Posted January 12 After my lobectomy I had fluid in the chest cavity that did concern me but after seeing the doctor I learned that it can dissipate on its own after a while and that is what I experienced. In my case there was no shortness of breath, but rather a gurgling when I would breathe deeply. How are you doing since the draining of the fluid?
