Deviated Septum Surgery

I had it today. Still groggy and my nose is full of snot and blood, but I already can feel a difference for the better.
Hopefully this will turn out to be a 100% success and I will finally be able to breath easy again after years and years of congestion and post nasal drip.

Anyone else gone through this? Pointers to help recovery?

Hope that works out for ya man!

Damn D, I hope it works out for you too!!!!!

Man....you need to stay in touch just a little bit more DD.....here ya go having an operation and I didn't know anything about this till it's all over.

ahh those years spent as a misguided youth have caught up with you DD . j/k

havent gone thru but i suspect it will just take some time and a few precautions,,,, such as not putting your nose where it dont belong

Now you will be able to smell everything

Try your best NOT to sneeze for a while! Hope you feel better right soon pard.

get well soon dawb !! i cant kiss ya with a bandaged up nose !!

So DD.......how ya feeling and did the operation help?

I get the packing out my nose tomorrow. Hopefully I WILL be better then!
I've been off work and sitting and sleeping upright on the couch since the procedure.
Total suckage trying to sleep (or do any other activity) with your nostrils ~95% blocked off.
I CANNOT WAIT to sleep on my side, in the bed, brush my teeth, eat a good meal, etc with both holes hittin' a hunnerd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a real bad car wreck when I was sixteen. Had reconstructive surgery on my entire face since it was crushed flat by the steering wheel in my 87 S-10. After the swelling went down had to have deviated septum surgery...twice. Know what you're going through but it's worth it. I had breathing problems before my wreck.

I hope it works for you D. It is something I need to look into myself. I have been breathing out of one nostril for about 15 years now.

They pulled out two plastic splint things about the size of a shoe spoon and that was somewhat weird feeling, but DAMN it feels good to be able to breath good!
