Don't be too worried, it is an easy surgery, little or no pain, pretty easy recovery. I had two surgeries, both were a piece of cake. I did not even use the narcotics for pain, only tylenol and not too much. I was walking two miles three days later, and felt fine. If you have to have a TT, then that is a bit worse, but lets focus on the lobectomy...you should not have too much trouble and let's hope there is no cancer! I am sending happy thoughts your way, good luck!
