is it a guarantee that you will have to get sinus surgery at some point?

I never had sinus problems until I moved to Austin almost 10 years ago (the allergies here are horrible). I had my first sinus surgery about 5 years ago, and my second about six months ago. I have never had polyps, just nasty infections that the antibiotics weren't killing. Oh, and my sinuses is my primary CF problem. I have excellent lung function and no digestive issues. Still, when my ENT looks into my sinuses, he says "you don't have CF!" So, I guess my sinus symptoms are mild compared to some CFers.

I had it last year in May. The easiest and best surgery I've ever had.

No cuts or bruises, and hardly any pain. I was actually feeling so good afterwards I asked what kind of pain med they had me on....turns out none. I had had such bad headaches because of them it didn't even compare. I could instantly breathe better.

It takes about a week to get rid of the grossness, but after that it's wonderful!

If you have had sinus problems, I would highly recommend it.

Kristen would you mind finding out what exactly they do during the surgery or what the technical name is? I have many sinus infections and no pollyps any more. If there is something else they can do for me surgically, I would be so grateful!
