I m 66 years with multiple gallstones.. Need to go for gallbladdery removal surgery this month.. But I had Covid last year in December.. My lungs are weak.. But no breathing issues.. My DLCO is moderately impaired but my Spirometry nd 6 minute walk test is normal.. I also have severe sleep apnea.. Will my surgery be risky? What are the chances of my recovery?
