HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern,
Clinically your doctor must have found that is better to administered vitamin D supplements or you might deficient to this
Thinking for surgery for second time is not wise unless advised by Doctor
If having some lung pathology then you would not be good candidate for any surgical procedures.
There are others ways too for what you are looking for and that better to practiced, like aerobic exercise, change of life style.
Hope this helps, take care.
