Glad it worked for you the second time. Some people have very good luck and others not so much. Even though they've learned a lot about who are good candidates, not everyone is skilled in evaluation and it just doesn't work for some folks.

I am also very interested in hearing from anyone that has had the Zephyr Valve procedure done. I am applying to see if I qualify as a good candidate and so far it looks and sounds promising.
