Hello All,

In 2 weeks I am scheduled for surgery. I am getting my Deviated Septum fixed (where she said she is going to take out the part that is crooked), I am getting my Lower Turbinates shrunken, and I am getting a Bone Removed around my sinus area cause i have alot of tissue in my right sinus. I am really scared because i have never had surgery before. I do suffer all the time however. It seems like everyday I get stuff at one point or another. The worse is when I try to sleep. Has any1 had any or all of these done at the same time? I would love to hear your story, and if it has helped. I am really in need right of some good advice and comforting. I appreciate any advice or stories or anything you can give me. I am also worried about spending alot of $$ on this, and what if it doesnt work, or something goes wrong? How long is recovery, what should i expect from this. Please help me, I am in desperate need...Thanks

I didn't have all those procedures done, but I had a turbinate reduction and some gunk cleaned out of my sinuses and it went very well. Even with the packing, I could tell I could breathe easier, and the pain wasn't bad at all. I was prescribed just tylenol 3 and only took it for 2 days. It was less than a week until I felt completely recovered back to my old routine. Honestly, getting the sinus surgery was the best thing I ever did. I wish I had done it sooner.
