Sinus surgery?

has anyone here had endoscopic sinus surgery? are the risks really as bad as the paperwork seem to make it? and are the post-op complications really as bad as they make it out to be? how bad is it overall?

Answer:
I've had sinus surgery a few years ago. I don't remember what the risks were but nothing bad happened to me. The surgery was fine, it wasn't painful after wards. It didn't work for me though, I still continued to get constant horrible sinus headaches. Email me if you have any more questions about it, lyndalu_98@yahoo.com.
many of my friends have had endoscopic sinus surgery.
there ARE risks. and if you are scared, don't do it. my friends survived through it and are now happy and healed. ofcourse it takes a while to heal, so it is pretty bad for a while, but it isn't bad overall. i mean, if you are someone that has needed this surgery for a long time, it will really help you and the bad week or so of healing after the surgery won't be so bad. there are risks in everything. it just depends on how bad you wnat this.
I had the surgery about 10 years ago and I have to say that it was completely worth it. I didn't feel real great for about a week afterwards, but it was tolerable and I've had an average of 1-2 sinus infections per year since then (I had almost constant infections for 2 years before that).

Good luck.
