@mastro99 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
You recently found out that you have a deviated septum and you are considering surgery.
You will notice that I moved your question to a previous discussion related to deviated septum surgery. I did this so you can connect with members like @judyhodgern @grant2021 that have experience with this topic and may be able to offer suggestions and/or support.
Below I have linked another related discussion that you might find helpful. You may wish to scroll through the previous posts.

@johnbishop Was kind enough to direct us towards the discussions above. He also found the link below produced by Mayo Clinic related to repairing a deviated septum.

May I ask your major concerns related to the surgery?
