John, I too had my lung checked for capacity or strength or both
after a five bypass surgery. The device I used was a VOLDYNE.
Using this I had to draw in a deep breath through a tube which showed
the volume of my lung. For the first week after I could only show
1000ml. It took one  or two weeks to draw in 2500ml,  (the top of the 
scale)
I don't know  what my capacity is now after four or five years after, 
but i am
still having trouble holding the same note for ten or fifteen measures
as the forth horn in a concert band.
