I had two ENT physicians diagnose me with a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse and sphenoidal sinusitis and prescribed septoplasty and turbinoplasty, endoscopy with balloon sinuplasty. My sinuses used to be chronically blocked to where it was interfering with my use of my CPAP, however for some unknown reason, my sinuses have been much more open. I’ve decided to hold off on the surgery especially given the stories I’ve heard or read from people. Reading reports of people’s experiences on this forum has really helped me think twice before making a decision. A very valuable resource.

Smart- more people need to take their time and not be fooled by people in white coats who learned one area in med school. Health “care” industry is a billion dollar business for a reason.

The more educated and healthy people become, aka ownership. The less money goes into doctor’s pockets.

No patients = no business.

Always question why you have been recommended anything by a doctor.
