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

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 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 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.

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. :)

Thank you so much for this information it will be very helpful next month!

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!

Thanks for answering a lot of the questions that I forgot to ask my consultant post op today! V informative

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

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!😬

Yay I'm so glad to hear you're doing well!

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 KZfaq. Well done to you. 🙂

Day 3 post op here. Your exp is valuable and sets expectations for what I am in for potentially. Thanks for the share !

Thank you SOOO MUCH!!! I'm heading in to surgery after 8 months,,, it has SUCKED! THANK YOU 💝

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.

So helpful!! Thanks for documenting and posting!!

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 🧡

Best video on this subject. More information then most doctors give...

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.

Thanks so much for the insight I'm currently going through the post op now. I'm on day 6 and I cannot wait for this to be over 😂

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..

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.

yeh, thanks for this. really appreciate you doing this. i go in a week today

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.

You look good you'll be alright just take your time

Thanks for your experience post sinus surgery! I just had my surgery yesterday

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.

Really useful vlog!

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.

Very very helpful

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 just flew from Australia to India to get surgery done . Day 2 no painkillers and no packing . Bit sore and bloody but going ok so far

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.

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

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

Very informative 👍

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

It's my 10 day after surgery and it was bleeding.... Your doctor's recommendations help to cover my anxiousneees

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

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. :(

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!

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!

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.

My saline solution goes in on the left side and just stays….nothing coming out on the right side :-(

I had this last Monday and everything was fine after 2 days

My packing was just fully yanked out the day after my surgery :0 it was so painful.

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 !

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.

I’ve got to have mine done today dreading it tbh

I appreciate this. I have septoplasy in 2 days. Maybe I can get an extra week of FMLA?

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?

did the size of your nose change at all post surgery ? thank you for the video 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 .

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 :)

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

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!

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 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🥺

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..

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 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?

Was it worth it? I’m going to my EMT six tomorrow and will most likely need septoplastic surgery

I'm on day 2 after my surgery, when did you start to wash out your nose?

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.

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??

Anything you recommend to buy for the surgery and recovery? I'm getting it in 6 days just found out today

During your recovery and once you were on pain meds were your gums very sore ????

Hey i know im late but did you run a fever? im runing low grade fever day 5 first 2 days was hell had to stay in hospital to get bleeding to stop then 3,4 no fever just headache snc started sinus rinse.

Hi how has the surgery worked for you in the long term. I’m having the procedure done soon.

I m scared to have it but i hate all time sinus

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.

Sents no body asking the most important question did the surgery help lol i want to no b4 i get it

I am worried that I won’t be able to breathe out of my mouth!!!

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

Hi I know your surgery was long ago but did you have a lot of headache afterwards

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...

What's up how you doing you cool

How long were you sick before you got your surgery?

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.

Can you please update if this has still been successful?

Dang a whole week.

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?

You gotta eat right sleep right and work out

How are u feeling now?

Does sinositis can change my nose Shape? C

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.

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 🙏🏽

why u need the surgery

Can you smell?
