Anyone ever have this procedure done. Did it help your breathing and sleeping? Was it worth it? Pros and cons

[Epack]

Buddy had it. No more snoring and he says he's never felt so good during allergy season

[dmcm33]

A good buddy of mine had it done. It helped him breathe and sleep better for sure. I don't know much other then that. I would have to say it was worth it, but I don't know off hand.

Is this like the root-rooter for the sinus passages? I looked into getting it done a while back, but the Dr. I was referred to really turned me off. (Not the procedure itself , just him doing it) I would like to have it done, mostly so I could breathe better while running , or exercising. I definitely have have an obstruction in my sinus area.

Yes, Yes and Yes. Best decision I have ever made. I went from 2-3 days a month of "kill me now" allergies to MAYBE one day a year. Im able to move more air, I sleep better and my quality of life is just flat out better.

My wife did and it was pretty brutal but it worked

[Bowtech Lefty]

Had it done, can now breathe better and less allergies, cons are I felt like I was in a fist fight afterwards and lost!

What's the recovery time

[JeffJ]

What's the recovery time

I was 50% after 24 hours, 75% after 3 days and from there it took about 2 weeks for me to be back to 100%

Very timely thread, I am considering this myself. Sounds like it works very well.

This. Best thing id done. Dr said might have to doit again later in life.

Best choice ever! 3-4 days post-op when the splints are pulled out and you take that first big inhale through your nose...what have I been missing?

No more snoring. Wake up feeling rested and not exhausted like before.

Highly recommend! LASIK is next

Stopped my snoring and I sleep better. They determined this was a major sleep issue for me during a sleep study. They also determined I do not have sleep apnea. Although because of my snoring that was the first thing they suspected.

The one draw back is now my allergies are worse. I guess before the pollen and dust couldn't get in there. Now it can! I take allergy medications and I can honestly say breathing and taking allergy meds is a big improvement.

No regrets getting it done.

I looked into it but when the doctor said he'd have to re-break my nose I said no thanks. Thats what got me where I am. 5 nose breaks are enough. Guess Ill just stay a mouth breather.

I could think of a couple people that should so I could sleep at deer camp
