Hello everyone! I’m a newbie who is SO grateful to have discovered this forum.

My VATS was in April. Hospitalized for 5 days during Covid protocols. The procedure itself was unremarkable and not very painful. Went in not being on O2 at all, and could not release me unless I agreed to go home on it. My suspicion is that probably I was “low” quite often beforehand, but was not monitoring pulse/ox then. Tissue from the biopsy was sent for a second review and came back as possible Idiopathic PF. To not have a conclusive diagnosis after over 2 years of all the testing AND a VATS is frustrating. I’m seeking another opinion at an out of town pulmonary clinic in September. Is this typical of others experience?
