re: Any of you baws had sinus surgery?

I think everyone should edit and say what type of surgery they had. Makes a huge difference in what the OP might take as good advice.

Back in 2000 I had surgery to repair a deviated septum, and they did something to my turbinates to open up the blockage. I had a cast on my nose, and packing inside.

Talked to a coworker who had the balloon procedure, and their recovery was a couple of days instead of a week.
