Nasal Polyp surgery, Anyone ever needed it?

@KrazyKid

It sounds like the thing my buddy did. This kid snoored like a mother fucker, allways sniffed and sounded congested 24/7, and couldnt breath through his nose. He got it done and is 100% now.

Sounds just like me :lol

@McLen

One of my friends had it done, so I’m not speaking from experience. Apparently they are relatively serious, as they’re essentially a foreign body (in your body). They can grow, shrink, rupture, stifle your breathing and such. Yeah, I’d get it done. The most I have had done is getting my nose cauterized due to nosebleeds (I think Elliot was at Best Buy when these were going on). That hurt like a bitch, I’m assuming polyp surgery will be a anesthetic treatment

Yea, when the doctor saw the polyps he instantly became more concerned about those than my septum…he wants me in for allergy testing asap to see why they’re getting there. I guess those take momentary priority over a potentially deviated septum, since they present more of an airway blockage.

@Cossey

Is this the same surgery for people with sleep apnea?

I would think so, the apnea surgery involves cutting away more septum tissue in a lot of cases to widen the airways in your nostrils, where the polyp surgery doesn’t require cutting into the septum. But if my septum doesn’t heal itself then I have to have a surgery similar to that of a sleep apnea patient.
