I'm fifteen years post surgery on both sides. Had blebs and bullae removed and a mechanical VATS (no talc) a few weeks apart.
There were complications with one surgery and I ended up having an unplanned thoracotomy which took a while longer to heal, but beyond a very cool scar, I have had no real noticeable health changes and am very glad I had it done.
