Story about Tracheobronchomalacia .

My journey so far.

Jul 9, 2017

By: Lisa


On August 1 2016 Mayo Clinic said I needed to exersize every day in the water to get reconditioned.  They also said I needed bariatric surgery to take the weight off my chest as it would help my trachea to not collapse so,easily.  My collapse was at 98%.  Needless to say I was fast tracked to have weight loss surgery and had it on Oct.4 2016.  I have lost 60 plus pounds and done water exersize and I haven't had a collapse now for around 6 months!   My biggest question is since this is a progressive disease will the weight loss and exersize eventually not be enough to keep my breathing problems at bay?
