Can you skydive after having a lobectomy one third of right lung removed?
The short answer is yes. If you are otherwise well, the pressure changes that occur in normal skydive altitudes wont cause you any problems. I would not recommend SCUBA diving….

I would recommend that you consult a doctor who is an aviation specialist in the first instance and go for a Tandem jump at no higher than 4000m.
