Re: endoscopic sinus surgery

I've had it, but I have had 6 surgeries and I can't say I've come out
for the better. But I believe that is because the surgeons I had for
the first 5 were, I can't say good, but did not do the job. I chose a
different surgeon for the 6th surgeon (he was younger) and although he
did a great job he couldn't fix what damage had already been done and
I am left with debilitating headaches, swollen sinuses, and dry
sinuses. This is the first year I did not get a sinus infection and I
no longer get a lot of discharge - so that is great. But I could
really do without the headaches. So make sure you really feel
comfortable with your surgeon. Gail (DE)
