Nasal Polyp removal surgery. Post-Op 2 weeks

Just talking a bit about my experience. I suffered from nasal polyps for 2 years. Finally got the surgery, which was a day surgery. It was 2 hours long ( I was a bad case, all cavities affected down to being in my nostrils) Pain wasn't horrible. 2 weeks later, I can breathe and can smell again :)

Hi what is symptom you get from nasal polyps ?

I had nostril expansion surgery and I expressed that I might have nasal polyps and doctor said there's none (without any X-ray investigation ?)

After a year of the surgery, I still don't feel 100% right about it so I want to hear from you that what kind of major symptoms you experienced.

Thanks !

@iminimoo Well, I constantly got colds, sinus infections, sinusitis. Lost my sense of smell. Some were visible by the doctor looking up my nostril with a scope and the others were seen on the catscans I had. You should ask for a sinus x-ray, just to be sure.

@DJsonnyANTWERPEN well, I am having some issues right now actually, and am going back to see the ENT next month. I'm hoping to not have to have surgery again.

I'm going in for Surgery next month to have mine removed.. Although one is gone I had pulled it out accidentally had a doctor take a look he couldn't see any major bleeding which did stop about 10 minutes later..

My nose is still a little stuffy but i can breath in deeply which is great.. still going under i think no idea..

[Psilionimus]

I'm guessing you have insurance but do you know much the entire list of procedures + surgery costs roughly? I've had polyps + a deviated septum for 10 years now. Can't breath out of my nose, can hardly ever smell, asthma, the works. Not a day that goes by that I'm not totally exhausted from not being able to sleep.

Also any advice on how I could get this procedure done would be great. I don't have insurance and can't afford to pay for it all myself D:

@pboisei normaly jess,but what is the cause i dont know..tomorrow surgent will open compleet complex of sinuses to release the mucose so maby then i can get rid of bacteria in my sinuses..

[pboisei]

@DJsonnyANTWERPEN That was probably from the hospital stay. The instruments they use are either packaged sterile or sterilized.

[pboisei]

@iminimoo They used CT scan, and I am sure your doctor looked himself. lol

[DJsonnyANTWERPEN]

@taintedlyric i have bad news, i must do next surgery next month....sphenodial sinus must be open... damn im f....d

tette spettacolari, brava!

(spectacular boobs, congratulations!)

[DJsonnyANTWERPEN]

@DJsonnyANTWERPEN and my specialist is planing one operation more,you see they open my maxillary sinuses and remove middle bone in nose but did nothing to frontal sinuses oor ethmodial sinuses..and not to talk about sphenoid sinuses.. uf im not a fan of next operation...not at all...

[DJsonnyANTWERPEN]

@taintedlyric catscan shows better if sinuses are closed and where.x-ray shows litle close to nothing. do me a fawor and test you nose slime for bacterias...dont be surprize you have one.if your nose is leaking white mass oor grean that is not polyps but infection...nasal rince can help you,just lauw water and sea salt and wash the insides of nose...xxx
