Re: Sinus Surgery??

[Guest guest]

Actually my OS did mine at once...I was going in for upper and genio

and when I came out my deviated septum was corrected and my many

large sinus polyups were removed too. Neat thing is, I always had

allergies, sinus probs etc, but never knew the extent of the

situation and once I woke up ALL of it was done!

Made for a bit og a tough recovery initially due to the (pardon)

mucus production from that healing and then not being able to blow

your nose for 4 wks...but Q-tips and some other techniques and you

over come that easily enough!

Good luck JO

Thanks for all the responses. I have scheduled to go ahead with the

surgery. I will be having that in May. Recovery time is supposed

to be about a week with total healing time in 4-6 weeks. Since I

don't have a date yet for the jaw surgery I think it should be ok,

it shouldn't set me back. I guess I'll see how it goes. It would

be nice just to be able to breath normal. Thanks again for all the

great information.
