hey everyone! thanks again for watching this video and i hope it has been helpful! it has been 3 years since my surgery. and i don't regret it at all! IT WORKED!! IT HELPED!!!! :) i will be filming a full video update in the coming weeks! stay tuned xx
Thank you so much for vlogging your journey. I had sinus surgery 6 days ago & I can't tell you enough what a support your videos have been. It just helps so much to be able to relate to someone else's experience. Your testimony is an eye opener that this surgery is "no joke" & it's normal to feel miserable for a while. I'm glad you no longer suffer from chronic sinusitis. That was my problem, as well. I'm just hoping this surgery helps. I'm so sick of being sick all the time.Thank you again for sharing your experience.
I just had sinus surgery, yesterday. Surprisingly: I’m not in too much pain (in itself) but my main complaint is that I can’t breathe through my nose, which is the worst feeling in the world. My nose keeps bleeding (which is a common symptom, and I had to change my gauze 4 times, since I got home) but thankfully, I have a follow-up appointment, next week. I pray they remove the splints in my nose, next week, but I watched your video, a few days prior to my surgery, and wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Many people on the Internet love to exaggerate, scare people, and make things sound worse than what they really are. While everyone’s experience is different: you motivated me to proceed with having surgery, despite the large amount of anxiety that I had, beforehand, so I wanted to show my appreciation to you for that. :)
Hey there ☺️ im so proud of you for getting this done for your health!! It changed my life and i’m so glad you were also recommended to do it by a doctor 🎉👏🏻 good luck with your healing and i’m so thankful for your lovely comment today! Thank you so much for taking the time to say something nice - and rest up! ❤️
@@SashSays You're most welcome, and God bless you! I don't know how to heart-react your comment, so I'm sending you a heart this way, to show my appreciation! ❤
Having my surgery tomorrow. I'm very nervous. Thank you for your documentation. This was priceless. Honest. Still scary but you seem to have lived through it and doing better now.. so.. here we go!😬
Awww thanks so much for the feedback ❤️❤️☺️☺️ i survived and you can too!! Good luck and good health xoxox take lots of time to recover!! I made that mistake and its not worth it
Thank you so much for this series! I have been having a nervous breakdown over the number of days I've been bleeding. I'm on day 7. In the US they make you go back to work after 5-7 days. I haven't even eaten solid food yet, but whatever they say goes or I'll lose my job. My follow up is in a week. Again...thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this! I’m day four the same surgery and had a very similar experience to your first video (aka not wonderful!) and it’s just so reassuring to watch and see progress cause I feel so rough right now! Thank you 🧡
These vlogs gave me some key insight. I am having this at 11am today so wanted to research and learn more. Your honest approach was a breath of fresh air! I hope you are continuing to do well
you don’t even need makeup! you’re a natural beauty ❤. thanks for sharing. i came across your video as i’m in vancouver as well and on day 3 post op of my sinus surgery.
In day 8 post surgery. One side of my nose is draining the other completely blocked. I’m praying it opens up soon. No draining means no healing. The last week has been very difficult but the hope of breathing normal makes it all worth it. Anyone going through this are in my prayers...
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm 5 days post op from a septoplasy/turbinectomy. I've watched a couple other videos but yours are the ones that seem the most like my experience so far and real! Thank you so much!
@@SashSays and yeah most important watching your video gave me some positive vibe and giving me confidence that everything will be alright...next month
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm recovering & it really helped to hear from someone going through the process & reinforced for me that I really need to take care of myself first, even though my 6 yr old & husband are demanding attention & asking for energy toward household chores.
aww! i hope they help you out.. you really do need to rest!! :) :) thank you for watching and i'm so glad i helped in anyway with this process for you xx
So sorry that you went through so much pain and suffering. I am 20 days post fess surgery and the dissolvable packing hasn’t come out at all. I saw the ENT 8 days ago and l see him again tomorrow. I am absolutely dreading getting the packing pulled out. The last 5 days the pain has increased and l am getting bad headaches, was easier just post surgery. Your videos are great regarding sinus surgery, nothing as good as them on UA-cam. Well done to you. 🙂
Some people's bleed for weeks and weeks. Luckily, I usually heal quite quickly. Day 2 and I think most of my pain is coming from the fact that my nose is filled with dried up blood. The proper bleeding stopped already. Cant wait to be able to breathe through my nose again.
I loved your videos on this.. I went in and they scraped out my sinuses under my eyes, my nasal area & my cheek bone area (all sinus areas as far as I'm aware but I might be a little confused). Then I had to have extra openings I've had since birth cleaned out & sewed shut.. Then on top of that they reduced my adenoids down and fixed my deviated septum. I remember going into the OR, getting on the table, but they never warned me that I was going out any second. I just woke up, extremely confused. I began hyperventilating, panicking, and received the worst bedside manner I've ever experienced at a hospital or in any medical situation. I was made to feel like a nuisance and was given no assurance/boost of confidence that what I was experiencing was normal. The nurses would then eventually look up what I had done and all had an expression of shock, as if it finally made sense as to why I was in such a bad state. My surgery was scheduled for 7:30AM and I was told I'd likely be going home at 11:30AM. I ended up sitting in a recliner after my surgery for 9 hours consistently soaking gauze & tissues with blood. I am sure when I originally inquired about the surgery, I was made aware of the amount of things they would be doing. However, I don't feel they expressed the severity of it all to me in a way that I could understand as a person not educated in the medical field. The nurse said to me "Some people come out of this surgery with no pain at all! It doesn't seem you're one of the lucky ones". While that was true to start, after I left the hospital and slept off and on due to the dripping down my throat, I didn't have to take a single pain med outside of what they gave me directly out of surgery. So.. Seems my day 1 was a NIGHTMARE, but I've been lucky with smooth sailing since. To anyone reading this; don't let my experience scare you from getting this surgery if it'll better your quality of life with breathing ect. My experience is unique to my body and it doesn't mean you'll suffer or go through anything as severe. I am 3 days into recovery and all I feel like is as if I have a head cold due to how much clotted/dry blood is up there. I can practically breathe through my nose already. It's just clogged. Also.. I woke up with my tongue so dry I felt like Spongebob in that episode where they are in Sandy's dome without water hahahaha.
This is very informative. I'm going in for my endoscopic sinus surgery next week. Thank you for posting! The sucking out of the packing...ARGH!...not looking forward to that. I know it won't be horrible but it probably will make me squeamish.
yeaaah its suuuuper gross! be prepared haha! dont take too much endone.. it tripped me out! it doesnt hurt that much nose wise its more the chapped lips and lack of your sense of smell. very bizarre! basically, you'll LOVE when you can breathe through your nose and sleep properly after 2 weeks good luck!!!! xx
Oh my girl I’m so glad you’re doing better!! Hahha the way you edited this made me laugh, the dogs barking 😂 It made me so sad when you said you went to work and were feeling dizzy :( I hate that!! I hope you’re doing even better now ❤️❤️❤️
i appreciate your honesty in your recovery, and you look so pretty with and without makeup! i look like a potato without makeup hahahahaha. last night the dr found a sinus polyp that will probably need to be removed.
I suffered severe sinus infection. Antibiotics were no longer working. I'm on day 9 post op. This past week I had a sinus infection that was followed by a throat infection which was followed by another sinus infection. Can't say it's really going great, but I think I'm slowly recovering. Thank you for your Videos.
Thanks so much for your videos....im so nervous ive put this surgery off for 7 years my polyps are huge. 7 years ago my doctor said he fidnt know how i was breathing
I am going to have the same surgery in a week..and i am so glad icameacross this vidoe of yours..and thanks a lot for all the tips that yo7 have shared..i am sure these will help me a lot in my recovery..
Had my nose done 1 week ago. WOW, quite the procedure! I want to ask you, is your breathing better? Mine is actually worse, probably the swelling. I'm getting frustrated! Great vid!
Yesss it is very invasive!! My breathing was never affected by my chronic sinusitis tbh! My breathing is great though 😊 took over a month to feel good after my surgery though! Good luck in your recovery
Just so you know I know this is old but you may one day get another sinus surgery and I wanna tell you for next time the reason it’s black and smellybb by is you haven’t been rinsing enuf so the red blood wasn’t rinsed out so what was left turned black and dried blood stinks so next time you need to be rinsing at least 3 times a day but if your bleeding a lot you can rinse as often as you want cause when I go in for my follow up and he looked up my nose and nothing was there to suck out and he said whatever I did was exactly the perfect thing to do, Everytime I felt like blowing my nose I’d use my bottle and rinse and it would relieve that and the stuffiness just for future or for your subs this is some great advice. Well wishes
Just had this done two days ago. Wish I shaved my mustache. But I have blow my nose. That was the part they told me not to. But blew light and a lot came out.
Thank you for the video. I’ve just had my surgery. I feel terrible and I can’t speak well as my nose feel completely packed and come out air through my nose and ears. My dr told it is a simple operation and you can go back after couple of days but I don’t feel like it. :(
well done! congrats for doing it :) it's a tough one! doooo NOT go back to work for at least a week... honestly. your body is SO susceptible to infection. and i got one and it was the worst pain ever. worse than post surgery. take care of yourself and listen to your body xx good luck!
it actually slightly looks thinner along the bridge actually... didnt think it did but i have noticed over time that its a little narrower. but i am on camera a lot for acting so i notice these things xox very subtle
Hi there! Did you just have blood afterwards? Anything that was cartilage like that might've been scabs?? The pain is for sure there and I too have struggled with low blood pressure after, and massive infection. Ugh. I think I'm on day 12 post op.
Hey there Sash! hope u're doing fine . writing to you due to my surgery , have some questions ... 1st: did they put any splints in u're nose or package ? 2nd: I was watching u're video and got the point that the doctor took out from u're nose something but didn't really get what and if yes , then did hi do it in the both side of the nose or just one (left or right) . thank you !
hey there :) yesss, when is your surgery? good luck with it all! i had packing in my nose for 2 weeks then had it removed by surgeon and had a check up. i hated that so much ickkkkk. the doctor literally just shaved the inside a tad to open up the nose canals. like cartilege? i believe it's called. no bones. but basically vacuumed up scar tissue :) that was what was actually the issue overall. the scar tissue kept getting infected! x
I just had sinus surgery and septoplasty last friday. My ENT put me on antibiotics for one week and prednisone for over a month. I don't like to take cortisone (here in the US prednisone is also referred to as a steroid). Were you on any sort of steroid/cortisone as well after the procedure? And if so, for how long?
Ok and thank you for your videos, I am going in to have it done in a few weeks and anxiety has set in so I am feeling confident that I watched your videos ❤️
My husband's nose stopped bleeding on day two. It's just blowing my mind how bad some of the experiences are of people that have had this surgery when my husband hasn't had hardly any problems at all other than being sleepy
Thanks a lot! I did the surgery 3 weeks ago and it's been a rollercoaster....nobody tells you about the painfull recovery. I still have painfull headaches and nose pain, which is probably from the operation. I wonder when the pain will stop. And my nose is blocked with a lot of mucus...
@@sofiacordeiro4653 sorry for the late answear, I didn´t see it. I cannot say it is better, it´s different. I don´t have the headaches anymore, but breathing is still challeging.
Hi I know your surgery was long ago but did you experienced mucus running down your throat all the time after op or we can say post nasal drip? Please reply as i am experiencing this and it feels very uncomfortable.
I think during my recovery time.. yes.. but after the surgery i havent experienced that again 🎉🎉 unless im rundown and/or feeling sick. But honestly maybe twice in 5 years??
I have chronic sinusitis and polyps up my nose. My ENT prescribed me some medication, but I reacted badly to it. See him again the end of January. I know that surgery is likely to happen. I'm shit scared of having surgery. On a scale from 1- 10 ( 10 being the worst), how bad was the pain and not being able to breathe etc. I had a severely blocked nose from my sinus infection for 2 days and I could barely cope. Totally freaking out!
surgery was scary but worked for me! i could breathe through my nose nearly all the time, but i got chronic sinusitis every month or so... so it was constant illness that made me get the surgery not neccessarily a blocked nose. have a think and chat to family too :) x good luck
I thought I was getting depressed or going through bad caffeine withdrawals or something , but it feels like my head was stuffed with cotton and I have this just lethargy ; day 5 after maxillary sinus turbinate fungal infection removal , and expansion of the nasal passages .
What types of problems arises that led you to do a septoplasty? Because I have deviated septum and can’t breathe through my nose properly so I am getting surgery soon, so I just wanted to know.
i really didn't have many long term side effects from it! mine was successful but it took 4-6 weeks to fully recover and not feel light headed and it running water etc.
This is a very informative video. Thank you for this!❤ I googled the side effects of Sinus Surgery and one of them showed Empty Nose Syndrome. Do you experience this? I fear to take the procedure, because I don't want to get the Empty Nose Syndrome..
I asked my ENT about empty nose syndrome and about the surgery . he said don't read what you read on the internet .. Thats very rare case empty nose syndrome. Thats is what he said. Im scared of that too .
carleyp04 I know you probs already did surgery but I had mine only a week ago today, when I went in I was basically dead, too much pain you just sleep. I brought my laptop thinking I could watch movies and all but no I was sleeping crying and pain 😂
I suffer so bad with one side of my face my ear and nose!! I don’t respond to any treatment my doctor gives me however I have awful anxiety did you ever feel anxious with the packed nose feeling that’s my biggest concern🥺
Hey sophie!! ❤️ honestly it was awful.. but bearable! It’s the weirdest feeling not being able to nose breathe. But it’s only temporary! It was like 7 days before i could breathe through my nose. You just gotta trust that the doctors will take it out for you properly 😘😘 i have anxiety and depression. So i feel ya! I was well supported by my fam at the time xxp
100% worth it in my case. crazy how much it stopped all the mucus build up in my throat and i was constantly gagging and coughing up yuck stuff.... was sick all the time. i wasnt always blocked up but i did get chronic sinusitis. havent had it since
Im having polyps right now and i cannot taste or smell since December 2019. I will be going to surgery in about 4 months time which is November 2020. By any chance do you lost your taste and smell as well when diagnose with sinus?
I Just had surgery last week for nasal polyps, deviated septum, and sinuses that were opacified: Ethmoid, Frontal, Maxillary, Sphenoid. I lost my sense of smell and taste almost a year ago. My congestion kept getting worse (almost totally mouth breathing), balance was off, pain in upper teeth, etc. Glad I had the surgery, and I understand that recovery can be slow, but absolutely worth it. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them for you.
This is kinda a weird question but. I've been suffering from sinus pressure and my adenoids are inflamed but I dont have like a runny nose and my nose isnt completly congested but a little but I get pretty bad nose pressure. I'm not sure what's going on I've told my mom and we've visited the doctor and they told me to do nose rinses and they also gave me nose spray non of it's been helping so in your opinion do you think these symptoms might need to get surgery for? Of course I should see a doctor again and see other options first. I just dont know if anyone has ever had these exact symptoms and got surgery and felt better. Hope someone can give me some information :)
Thanks for the video I had mine done yesterday blood everywhere lol very uncomfortable and I can't sleep because of blood and mucus running down my throat
@@SashSays I actually did sleep very well but they fixed my fistula and when I went to the beach I noticed that it's not fixed and the doctor seems to not believe me so whatever I don't care I can't smell anymore unless I take those damn pills to knock down the jiggly things and I'm not doing that so whatever
I am scaresmd doing this operation.i read a comment that said their nerve messed up and ruined their lives.ooo i cant.how r u doing now?i have a post nasal drip too.is everything ok now?it seems from ur vlog that is a very difficult operation.freaking out
dont freak out :) i have a video from this year that explains my overall recovery 3 years later... ua-cam.com/video/w2bUT-8XL0c/v-deo.html hope this helps you :) xx
how Long after surgery were you blocked for? Did you sleep with an open mouth and how the heck did you manage?? I can hardly sleep with one side blocked. How long after did your smell come back?
My nose bridge is so sensitive. When I try to put on my glasses it immediately irritates and pain spreads to my forehead and my temples. Is it normal??
Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
damn yours was way easier, tbh I also had some others tuff done maybe that's why. day 3 and my eyes are swollen (Surgeon said it's normal?) and I got a bit of a fever and still weak. also I"m soooo booooored
i would say 4-6 weeks i felt better.. but i did get an infection straight after the surgery sooo maybe i had a different experience you know? just rest and take your time xx
How is it now? I've got a septoplasty in 11 days. Do you need a mouth spray to keep the mouth hydrated? How long were you unable to breath from your nose for? Please edit your videos leaving out long pauses and stuff that isn't relevant. Makes it hard to follow.
@@SashSays My father emotionally abused me the entire car journey there so the surgeon refused to operate on me because I broke down in tears in front of the nurse. He claimed my emotional state meant putting me under would be dangerous. Now the manipulative ahole who said he's referring me to another ent to perform the operation, now thinks I have BDD and has convinced the other surgeon not to perform the septoplasty. I've filed a complaint against him. We will see how this goes.
@@edwardcullen3251 oh wow.. that's so awful i'm so sorry to hear that!! very sad news :( i hope you have luck in the future with the surgery and please be careful dealing with this abuse. thinking of you! stay strong and supported xx
Thank you for the video but you talk about so much useless thing. Didn’t give many clear answers, like how long before you could breath and, are you breath much better, does your nose ever get blocked or as bad after before the surgery. Thank you for documentaries but please give me answers 🙏🏽
@@SashSays the questions i asked have no answers? hope i didnt sound rude? i believe im having the same issues as you and just want to be well informed. thanks again for even replying cheers
@@isokane9726 you had written above: "you talk about so much useless thing. Didn’t give many clear answers, like how long before you could breath " i definitely took it in a rude way. thanks for clearing that up! x good luck with everything

Thank you so much for this information it will be very helpful next month!
Yay I'm so glad to hear you're doing well!
thank you :) :) means a lot!
Thanks so much for your videos....im so nervous ive put this surgery off for 7 years my polyps are huge. 7 years ago my doctor said he fidnt know how i was breathing
Good luck Chelsey!! Proud of you 👏🏻🥺❤️😭 i hope it works out for you and your health long term!! X
I am going to have the same surgery in a week..and i am so glad icameacross this vidoe of yours..and thanks a lot for all the tips that yo7 have shared..i am sure these will help me a lot in my recovery..
proud of you! hope you did well :)
You look good you'll be alright just take your time
Had my nose done 1 week ago. WOW, quite the procedure! I want to ask you, is your breathing better? Mine is actually worse, probably the swelling. I'm getting frustrated! Great vid!
Yesss it is very invasive!! My breathing was never affected by my chronic sinusitis tbh! My breathing is great though 😊 took over a month to feel good after my surgery though! Good luck in your recovery
Thanks for your experience post sinus surgery! I just had my surgery yesterday
Good luck in recovery! Thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰
Just so you know I know this is old but you may one day get another sinus surgery and I wanna tell you for next time the reason it’s black and smellybb by is you haven’t been rinsing enuf so the red blood wasn’t rinsed out so what was left turned black and dried blood stinks so next time you need to be rinsing at least 3 times a day but if your bleeding a lot you can rinse as often as you want cause when I go in for my follow up and he looked up my nose and nothing was there to suck out and he said whatever I did was exactly the perfect thing to do, Everytime I felt like blowing my nose I’d use my bottle and rinse and it would relieve that and the stuffiness just for future or for your subs this is some great advice. Well wishes
thanks! i guessed as much and i rinsed very very often.. i ended up getting an infection despite doing all the right things. hence the smell worsened.
yeh, thanks for this. really appreciate you doing this. i go in a week today
Good luck 😊👍🏻
Just had this done two days ago. Wish I shaved my mustache. But I have blow my nose. That was the part they told me not to. But blew light and a lot came out.
hope you're recovering well :)
@@SashSays Very happy with my deviated septum surgery. It has been 1 month, The air I get through my nose helps a person sleep great,
Thank you for the video. I’ve just had my surgery. I feel terrible and I can’t speak well as my nose feel completely packed and come out air through my nose and ears. My dr told it is a simple operation and you can go back after couple of days but I don’t feel like it. :(
well done! congrats for doing it :) it's a tough one! doooo NOT go back to work for at least a week... honestly. your body is SO susceptible to infection. and i got one and it was the worst pain ever. worse than post surgery. take care of yourself and listen to your body xx good luck!
It's been over a week now and I am still stuffy can't breathe or sleep . How long did it took for your stuffiness to go away
took around a month to breathe 100% to be honest! hope you recovered well - sending love!
Same here with me.. it’s been over a week post op and all the time mucus running down my throat. Did you have the same problem of post nasal drip?
did the size of your nose change at all post surgery ?
thank you for the video x
it actually slightly looks thinner along the bridge actually... didnt think it did but i have noticed over time that its a little narrower. but i am on camera a lot for acting so i notice these things xox very subtle
My saline solution goes in on the left side and just stays….nothing coming out on the right side :-(
Hi there! Did you just have blood afterwards? Anything that was cartilage like that might've been scabs?? The pain is for sure there and I too have struggled with low blood pressure after, and massive infection. Ugh. I think I'm on day 12 post op.
a lot of weird stuff came out of my nose tbh! took around 4-6 weeks to recover properly.. hope you recovered well - sending love!
It's my 10 day after surgery and it was bleeding.... Your doctor's recommendations help to cover my anxiousneees
Good luck in your recovery!! 🙏🏻💖
I appreciate this. I have septoplasy in 2 days. Maybe I can get an extra week of FMLA?
How did it all go in the end?! 🙏🏻❤️
During your recovery and once you were on pain meds were your gums very sore ????
Wow she says to ask questions yet doesn't reply.
not my gums at all, no! just super chapped lips and dehydrated. very foggy! it hurt a lot, no question about it!
My gums were definitely sore. The roof of my mouth was hell haha
Hi how has the surgery worked for you in the long term. I’m having the procedure done soon.
Loved it! Changed my life 🤠🎉
@@SashSays thanks for the reply so glad it made you better. Looking forward to getting it done as I get regular sinus infections. X
Hey there Sash! hope u're doing fine .
writing to you due to my surgery ,
have some questions ...
1st: did they put any splints in u're nose or package ?
2nd: I was watching u're video and got the point that the doctor took out from u're nose something but didn't really get what and if yes , then did hi do it in the both side of the nose or just one (left or right) .
thank you !
hey there :)
yesss, when is your surgery? good luck with it all!
i had packing in my nose for 2 weeks then had it removed by surgeon and had a check up. i hated that so much ickkkkk.
the doctor literally just shaved the inside a tad to open up the nose canals. like cartilege? i believe it's called. no bones. but basically vacuumed up scar tissue :) that was what was actually the issue overall. the scar tissue kept getting infected! x
I just had sinus surgery and septoplasty last friday. My ENT put me on antibiotics for one week and prednisone for over a month. I don't like to take cortisone (here in the US prednisone is also referred to as a steroid). Were you on any sort of steroid/cortisone as well after the procedure? And if so, for how long?
Hey! I didnt have anything like that! I got given “endone” to cope with the pain and that’s about it! 🤷🏼♀️😬
Thank you!
I will check with my ENT on Thursday when he will take these intolerable splints out of my nose. 🤧
Hi I know your surgery was long ago but did you have a lot of headache afterwards
Hey! Noo not at all. Never got a headache 😬
Ok and thank you for your videos, I am going in to have it done in a few weeks and anxiety has set in so I am feeling confident that I watched your videos ❤️
Really useful vlog!
thanks scott!! :)
My husband's nose stopped bleeding on day two. It's just blowing my mind how bad some of the experiences are of people that have had this surgery when my husband hasn't had hardly any problems at all other than being sleepy
i am very happy for him! thats awesome! my recovery was sooo awful and it seems a lot of others have it bad too unfortunately
Thanks a lot! I did the surgery 3 weeks ago and it's been a rollercoaster....nobody tells you about the painfull recovery.
I still have painfull headaches and nose pain, which is probably from the operation. I wonder when the pain will stop.
And my nose is blocked with a lot of mucus...
Terrible surgery to have. Praying for you..
Are you feeling better? Can you breathe better?
Is it better now
@@sofiacordeiro4653 sorry for the late answear, I didn´t see it.
I cannot say it is better, it´s different. I don´t have the headaches anymore, but breathing is still challeging.
@@TheAhmedvienna Not sure about it. It is still tricky. Considering the headaches, I can say it´s better.
I’ve got to have mine done today dreading it tbh
Gooood luckkkk 😄😄
Had the op it gone better than expected just all stuffy and that now and can’t breathe out my nose but I guess that’s to be expected
I'm on day 2 after my surgery, when did you start to wash out your nose?
i think after a week - im not sure now sorry
Just had my nasil surgery in Tuesday must admit your video is very helpful.. day 3 and I feel like crap.. This block nose feeling is a lot
Gooner Boy how are you feeling today?
hope you recovered well - sending love!
I’m getting this surgery soon so ty for giving us all the details. I was wondering what happened when u sneezed for the first few days post op?
i didnt sneeze! so im not sure sorry! good luck! :)
Lol I just got it done you sneeze through your mouth
Hi I know your surgery was long ago but did you experienced mucus running down your throat all the time after op or we can say post nasal drip? Please reply as i am experiencing this and it feels very uncomfortable.
I think during my recovery time.. yes.. but after the surgery i havent experienced that again 🎉🎉 unless im rundown and/or feeling sick. But honestly maybe twice in 5 years??
Thank you. I have done my surgery last week and now i am experiencing this post nasal drip thats why i asked you.
My packing was just fully yanked out the day after my surgery :0 it was so painful.
So sorry to hear!! 😞😞😞
I have chronic sinusitis and polyps up my nose. My ENT prescribed me some medication, but I reacted badly to it. See him again the end of January. I know that surgery is likely to happen. I'm shit scared of having surgery. On a scale from 1- 10 ( 10 being the worst), how bad was the pain and not being able to breathe etc. I had a severely blocked nose from my sinus infection for 2 days and I could barely cope. Totally freaking out!
surgery was scary but worked for me! i could breathe through my nose nearly all the time, but i got chronic sinusitis every month or so... so it was constant illness that made me get the surgery not neccessarily a blocked nose. have a think and chat to family too :) x good luck
Very helpful video.The first two weeks seem very suffering. Not sure I can handle all of this. By the way, your eyes are beautiful.
that's sweet of you to say!!!
i survived and am happy i got it - each story is different though x
I thought I was getting depressed or going through bad caffeine withdrawals or something , but it feels like my head was stuffed with cotton and I have this just lethargy ; day 5 after maxillary sinus turbinate fungal infection removal , and expansion of the nasal passages .
Get better soon - take care of yourself ❤️
What types of problems arises that led you to do a septoplasty? Because I have deviated septum and can’t breathe through my nose properly so I am getting surgery soon, so I just wanted to know.
i really didn't have many long term side effects from it! mine was successful but it took 4-6 weeks to fully recover and not feel light headed and it running water etc.
This is a very informative video. Thank you for this!❤ I googled the side effects of Sinus Surgery and one of them showed Empty Nose Syndrome. Do you experience this? I fear to take the procedure, because I don't want to get the Empty Nose Syndrome..
thank you for the feedback :) :) defs speak with a professional but i wasnt even aware of empty nose syndrome or had heard of it before my procedure
I asked my ENT about empty nose syndrome and about the surgery
. he said don't read what you read on the internet .. Thats very rare case empty nose syndrome. Thats is what he said. Im scared of that too
.
Can you please update if this has still been successful?
Yes filming that this week! It would have been 3 years then! ☺️☺️ i’ll let you know when it’s up!!
@@SashSays Thanks so much.
Anything you recommend to buy for the surgery and recovery? I'm getting it in 6 days just found out today
carleyp04 I know you probs already did surgery but I had mine only a week ago today, when I went in I was basically dead, too much pain you just sleep. I brought my laptop thinking I could watch movies and all but no I was sleeping crying and pain 😂
carleyp04 hope your recovery is going ok
Carley , where did you get surgery done. Did you get your sinus back after treatment. Do you recommend surgery
I suffer so bad with one side of my face my ear and nose!! I don’t respond to any treatment my doctor gives me however I have awful anxiety did you ever feel anxious with the packed nose feeling that’s my biggest concern🥺
Hey sophie!! ❤️ honestly it was awful.. but bearable! It’s the weirdest feeling not being able to nose breathe. But it’s only temporary! It was like 7 days before i could breathe through my nose. You just gotta trust that the doctors will take it out for you properly 😘😘 i have anxiety and depression. So i feel ya! I was well supported by my fam at the time xxp
Was it worth it? I’m going to my EMT six tomorrow and will most likely need septoplastic surgery
100% worth it in my case. crazy how much it stopped all the mucus build up in my throat and i was constantly gagging and coughing up yuck stuff.... was sick all the time. i wasnt always blocked up but i did get chronic sinusitis. havent had it since
Im having polyps right now and i cannot taste or smell since December 2019. I will be going to surgery in about 4 months time which is November 2020. By any chance do you lost your taste and smell as well when diagnose with sinus?
I Just had surgery last week for nasal polyps, deviated septum, and sinuses that were opacified: Ethmoid, Frontal, Maxillary, Sphenoid. I lost my sense of smell and taste almost a year ago. My congestion kept getting worse (almost totally mouth breathing), balance was off, pain in upper teeth, etc. Glad I had the surgery, and I understand that recovery can be slow, but absolutely worth it. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them for you.
This is kinda a weird question but. I've been suffering from sinus pressure and my adenoids are inflamed but I dont have like a runny nose and my nose isnt completly congested but a little but I get pretty bad nose pressure. I'm not sure what's going on I've told my mom and we've visited the doctor and they told me to do nose rinses and they also gave me nose spray non of it's been helping so in your opinion do you think these symptoms might need to get surgery for? Of course I should see a doctor again and see other options first. I just dont know if anyone has ever had these exact symptoms and got surgery and felt better. Hope someone can give me some information :)
defs go to a doctor! could be an allergy or something that can be treated without such an evasie surgery :) good luck!!
Thanks for the video I had mine done yesterday blood everywhere lol very uncomfortable and I can't sleep because of blood and mucus running down my throat
hope you feel better soon steve!! :)
How long were you sick before you got your surgery?
Oooh i wanna say 5 years? Maybe longer? Mainly since i was 18
I had this last Monday and everything was fine after 2 days
Thats amazing!!
Did you sleep alot before surgury?. I was sick but thought I was depressed for 3 years. Lungs failed sent me to Er cuz nasal drip.
i'm not a good sleeper! haven't been for years. i hope you get the support you need :)
@@SashSays I actually did sleep very well but they fixed my fistula and when I went to the beach I noticed that it's not fixed and the doctor seems to not believe me so whatever I don't care I can't smell anymore unless I take those damn pills to knock down the jiggly things and I'm not doing that so whatever
Very very helpful
I m scared to have it but i hate all time sinus
you can do it :)
I am scaresmd doing this operation.i read a comment that said their nerve messed up and ruined their lives.ooo i cant.how r u doing now?i have a post nasal drip too.is everything ok now?it seems from ur vlog that is a very difficult operation.freaking out
dont freak out :) i have a video from this year that explains my overall recovery 3 years later... ua-cam.com/video/w2bUT-8XL0c/v-deo.html
hope this helps you :) xx
What's up how you doing you cool
I am worried that I won’t be able to breathe out of my mouth!!!
After the surgery? I’m sure you can! I just couldn’t breathe out of my nose for a good 10 days. It sucks but worth it for me ☺️👍🏻
Sents no body asking the most important question did the surgery help lol i want to no b4 i get it
Very successful 3 years on!!
@@SashSays thank you very much im happy for you i cant wait to say that tired of post nasal drip and sore throat
how Long after surgery were you blocked for? Did you sleep with an open mouth and how the heck did you manage?? I can hardly sleep with one side blocked. How long after did your smell come back?
took about a month to fully breathe and smell properly i'd say!! full smell and perfect functioning 6-8 weeks after
Very informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!
My nose bridge is so sensitive.
When I try to put on my glasses it immediately irritates and pain spreads to my forehead and my temples.
Is it normal??
Not sure! Sorry!
Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
hey!! i replied to your comment on my other video! hopefully the info helps you out xoxoxoxo let me know if you need more info
damn yours was way easier, tbh I also had some others tuff done maybe that's why.
day 3 and my eyes are swollen (Surgeon said it's normal?) and I got a bit of a fever and still weak.
also I"m soooo booooored
Dang a whole week.
How are u feeling now?
i feel amazing! over a year now!
You gotta eat right sleep right and work out
Does sinositis can change my nose Shape? C
sinusitis doesn't change any anatomy of your nose. after my surgery, internally my nose was changed.
How long did it take you to fully get better? I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and I still can’t seem to get better.
i would say 4-6 weeks i felt better.. but i did get an infection straight after the surgery sooo maybe i had a different experience you know? just rest and take your time xx
How is it now? I've got a septoplasty in 11 days. Do you need a mouth spray to keep the mouth hydrated? How long were you unable to breath from your nose for?
Please edit your videos leaving out long pauses and stuff that isn't relevant. Makes it hard to follow.
hope your surgery went well! i didnt use a mouth spray - didnt know that was an option actually!
@@SashSays My father emotionally abused me the entire car journey there so the surgeon refused to operate on me because I broke down in tears in front of the nurse. He claimed my emotional state meant putting me under would be dangerous. Now the manipulative ahole who said he's referring me to another ent to perform the operation, now thinks I have
BDD and has convinced the other surgeon not to perform the septoplasty. I've filed a complaint against him. We will see how this goes.
@@edwardcullen3251 oh wow.. that's so awful i'm so sorry to hear that!! very sad news :( i hope you have luck in the future with the surgery and please be careful dealing with this abuse. thinking of you! stay strong and supported xx
why u need the surgery
I have a whole video explaining why! 👏🏻
Thank you for the video but you talk about so much useless thing. Didn’t give many clear answers, like how long before you could breath and, are you breath much better, does your nose ever get blocked or as bad after before the surgery. Thank you for documentaries but please give me answers 🙏🏽
i did give a lot of answers in both videos.. sorry you feel this way!
@@SashSays the questions i asked have no answers? hope i didnt sound rude? i believe im having the same issues as you and just want to be well informed. thanks again for even replying cheers
@@isokane9726 you had written above: "you talk about so much useless thing. Didn’t give many clear answers, like how long before you could breath " i definitely took it in a rude way. thanks for clearing that up! x good luck with everything
SashSays than I definitely apologize for that! Thanks! Glad yours was successful 😁.
Can you smell?
Sure can!! Always could! And it didn’t affect me in that way luckily 😊
@@SashSays wow really
@@jetshark970shark4 yep really! :)
