Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011  Some centers do balloon procedures without a general--yes, indeed. I think I would be wanting to go to a University or major medical center and a person who has lots of practice though. Judy in MN Again with the mannitol! I spent some time after church Sunday at Walmart studying ingredients on gum packages. Orbit gum has mannitol contained in them. So as I chew these in the future, I will pay attention to what it does in my sinuses and elsewhere. This will be known as the Ann Mannitol Study or MAMS.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Judy, If we were still living in Iowa City, Iowa, that would be a good place to go since according to US News and Report they have the third best Otolaryngology Dept. I took one of my sons there for ear infections for about eight years. When we first moved there all of our neighbors were residents at the University of Iowa Medical Center.
