[OrtizJ208]

@ravenstar87 wow!! does it hurt a lot after the surgery?

[ravenstar87]

@OrtizJ208 Hell to the yes bro U.U

Well..... I guess not A LOT but it sure does hurt >.>

[tamithomas]

@ravenstar87 i had it too like a phew years back, i dont see what the big fuss is about. wasn't that bad, but then again everyones pain tolerance level is different.

[thecardcollector96]

I have had like 5 or something (im 14 so I cant reall remmeber all of them) But it has been gone for over a year, hopefully it is gone forever! Mine was near my facial nerve.

[dlewzey]

@thecardcollector96 Damn man! sorry to hear that. Surgery is a difficult thing to go through. As for the facial nerve, I take it you got away with it lol

[thecardcollector96]

@dlewzey Yeah no damage thankfully! :D

[dlewzey]

I had surgery just before xmas for the removal of cholesteatoma. The disease ruined my taste nerve in the right ear and everything taste like metal now. :(

[thecardcollector96]

@dlewzey :( sorry

[fantomba]

@dlewzey

that was probably from anestetics. i had that too.

[dlewzey]

@fantomba Oh right. Well thankfully my taste has come back for food but for some reason licquid esp water still taste pretty bad. How was your experience if you dont mind mind my asking?

[Slappyiskool]

Damn mine regrew...

[oliilo1]

@Slappyiskool damn :/

how long time did it take for it to regrow?

I operated mine 6-7 years ago. And I havent had any problems with it afterwards.

[Slappyiskool]

@oliilo1 yea about 5-6 years ago, it has like a 10% chance it grows back, but i got it removed already, so yea!

[pescobarbitch]

man i just had this surgery done and it is no fun

[bmh17444]

i just went to ENT specialist yesterday and he said its a possibility i could have a chloesteatoma. he never really explained it in laymans so i decided to google it, sounds like a blast. he had me on drops for a bit to get rid of my ear bleeding so much, and then he powdered it and said wait a few days for drops and then i get a cat scan or something in a week or so...who knows.

[davedidashit]

Yes the operation entails removing a large amount of the mastoid bone.

The bone is drilled away with a small burr. The eardrum if damaged is repaired with a grafted piece of tissue.
