Radiofrequency turbinate reduction??
Has anyone had this? I am interested (since I am such a chicken when it comes to surgery) Trying to find MD in Western part of North Carolina and so far no luck!

I wonder if I'm getting muddled up between stents and packing??? Maybe it was stents I had removed. At least it's quick, but might be worth taking painkillers before you go!

Thanks Mary~I am hoping for some improvement after stents removal Friday. BUT I do think I will take a percocet before leaving home. ( won't be driving)

I think I will take a percocet before leaving home. It does not sound pleasant having stents removed!

that does not sound as bad as I imagined. I assume they have a suture holding them. Will my nose probably feel a little less stuffy after they are out? If it would just be open a little. Well, I am impatient!

Just thinking, and once those stents are out you'll be able to breathe really easy :) Whatever it was I had (stents or packing) was removed the following day for me, and once they were, I knew I could instantly breathe through my nose like I never had before in my whole life - even though I still had swelling etc. It just got better and better. Not long to go now, and the worst is over now. Be thinking of you Friday :)

nasal stents are nothing compared to kidney stents everytime you move they rub spots the stone basketing hurt and if you have more than one kidney stone they take them out AND put them back in so your kidneys don't shut down when you have kidney stones that can't be passed by natural means due to size
Ginny Edmundson said:I know what you mean. The thought of packing/stents gives me feelings of claustrophobia. aI hope it is not another dead end like my oral appliance. I know it will not "fix" the OSA but hope will make using CPAP better. Crap...I do not tike this road...........

I only had five last time. And five hospital sessions where they knock you out and blast the with sound and vibration and they dig them out of you with a tool. I've had more people see my unit than I have wanted to and I was walking around like George Burns at the end of the movie Oh God for a month. The put me on a cancer drug because of the pain fentynal sublingual tablets. It SUCKS!

I went to Utube also!
Mike C (STILL at the Beach!) said:PS Ginny,
I was in & out of the Hospital in just about 4 hours. First night sucked a bit but was NO real pain at all. I am TERRIFIED of surgery, had over 30 of em....this was a piece of cake. Just hated having the nasal stents removed with packing is all. Don't go to YouTube like I did and watch the surgery or you may panic. I watched first and nearly cancelled my surgery. All in all, I would never do anything different. To breath clearly is simply the most wonderful gift you can imagine.
