My ENT wants me to get my deviated septum fixed. I like having an ENT with a big nose because he knows exactly what I go through.
In the spirit of CFH, what surgeries have you had?

Anyway, I just had a surgery scheduled for a couple of weeks from now to have the septum in my nose straightened out. My septum is so badly deviated that the sinuses in the right side of my head cannot drain properly and is the source of my chronic sinus headaches and facial pain. I have also likely had more numerous and severe sinus infections than I had previously realized as I have scarring and cysts in my sinus (they won't be removed because, at this point, they'd just come back anyway, even after the septum is fixed, and they're not causing problems anyway).
Really looking forward to this - tired of having headaches all the time.
Just got back home from my septoplasty this morning. So that's what it's like to breathe through my right nostril. No gauze packing, just plastic tubes supporting the septum that get removed next week. Pain meds are fun.
Bump, get to have heart bypass surgery, sounds like a blast.
I dont have a prostate anymore. 19 months now. Cancer free yet. If anyone wants to ask questions, PM me, I would love to help anyone before during or after surgery. Scary stuff but it is just a new normal you get used to. Keep your PSA checked guys. If it gets outside the prostate your in for very serious treatments. Dont mess around.
Thank you. It's a single on the LAD, from a mammary artery, so hopefully is straight forward and gives me another 40-50 years on that part anyways.
I would say a fractured heel, but after the doctor told be he lost count after 30 pieces of bone he said your heel pretty much exploded. Had 3 surgeries over 2 plates 20 screws, wound vaccum three different times, had to visit the wound clinic at Mary Greeley every 3 days for about 3 years. Got on a first name basis with the valet people! Forgot to add that my ankle looked like Gordon Hayward's but with a little more angle on it (just dislocated though!).
Yes and they will just give it to you "just in case"
It does far more harm than good. We are positive that is what messed up my dad when he had bypass surgery. He finally started getting better when they took him off of it but by then the damage was done. He was never the same. There are all sorts of horror stories about that drug.
2015 had a stent put in. The LAD was 95% blocked. God damn lucky I paid attention to warning signs 2002 had a UP3 for sleep apnea. That is having tonsils, uvula, soft palet taken out, plus base of my tongue shaved down. Talk about a sore throat.
I'll keep an eye out for that, haven't met with the surgeon yet, etc, but yeah, don't see why I'd want that drug.
I started having chest pains about 4 weeks ago no other issues, went to see a doctor on 2/20 put a stent in my LAD the next day 98-99% blocked. At first I thought(hoped) at first it was heartburn, sometimes it's best to go sooner than later, as there might not have been a later. Night before the procedure they put me on Heparin and nitro by IV.
