Default robotic thymectomy

I had a robotic thymectomy through three incisions on my right side under my arm. A fourth incision was for a chest tube. I was in the hospital 4 days when I was originally told a day or two. I agree that it's a no big deal surgery compared to the sternal option, but I was recovering at home for 2 weeks after the surgery and needed every day of it. My MG isn't as severe as yours. I just wanted to respond that perhaps the surgery and recovery may not be as simple and short as we all would like

Best wishes to you!
Susan
