Do they think you will get away without the operation now? Glad you are feeling better.

Collapsed lung

Did you ever see the demonstration in physics at school with a model lung using a bell jar and a balloon? Effectively the lungs are 2 balloons inside the sealed chest connected to the outside air. If that sealing is broken anywhere the lung on that side will collapse. It could be the chest wall being penetrated (a "sucking chest wound") or a good or tear in a lung or the pipework between the lung and your throat. The third option is other body fluids filling the space around your lungs so restricting their expansion.
Always investigate chest pains

When you have a good heavy meal, they say it "sticks to your ribs".
By having lots of good heavy meals you must end up with very sticky ribs, (and fat!) and obviously that's where your lungs are, stuck to the ribs, unable to collapse!

Well, I couldn't say anything else
Sorry to read you a bit rough at mo. Take it easy and do what medics recommend. A couple of weeks rest now would seem a good plan looking objectively at this thread.
