Full recovery from lung surgery takes between 3 to 6 months after the lung surgery.

The healing time after lung surgery takes up to 6 months for some people before they are fully healed after the lung surgery.

After your lung surgery it's very common and normal to feel tired and fatigued for 6 to 8 weeks after the lung surgery.

For up to 3 months you may feel aches or stiffness as well and may also experience things such as tightness, itching, numbness, or tingling around the cut where the surgeon made the cut to do the lung surgery.

So after having lung surgery take it easy for at least the first 8 weeks.

You should be fully healed and back to your normal self after 3 to 6 months.
