Hello all, I'm 29 with c.f and insulin dependent diabetic w/ asthma and celiac's disease and on oxygen,so there's most of my conditions but anyways l just had surgery number 84 almost 3 weeks ago now, but out of those 84 surgeries 43 of them have been on my sinus and ear surgeries, always with removing cyst and pylops and scraping bones down and I allergy scratch tested but not anything sinus allergy related but they have had me on flonase and nasacort and salen flushes but nothing has ever helped me not get the chronic sinus infections or pylops or cyst I just try to get into my e.n.t doc ASAP when I'm having a bad stuffy nose or draining down throat and let them suck out as much as he can and follow with antibiotics then sometimes I get lucky and don't have to have surgery/clean out but I usually end up 3 times a year having full blown sinus surgery to remove the cyst an pylops an infections or no infection but iv just learned to deal w/ it because it in the end is prolonging my life so I can be here for my husband and 3 girls who I had an there only carriers. But I hope this info helps a little. God speed, Leah

I get them done hospital-same day, in by like 7 and out by like noon or 1ish..or at least thats what i remember when i last had it done, i was like 14 then..im 23 now..it mighta been less time, i know it was early in, and afternoon out..then for me it was a week of sitting at home, no bending over and such with packing in my nose....not looking forward to it, but im very eager to be able to properly breathe again!</end quote>
<br>A WEEK at home with packing in your nose?!?!?! I've had 5 of these surgeries before (1 done at mass general in MA, 3 done in arizona at the phoenix chop, and 1 done at penn heart and lung center in philly), and I've never had packing in my nose for more then 12 hours.<br>The final one that was done in philly didn't even require packing either! They apparently tried some new technique ofcauterising while they cut, and I only had minor oozing for the night after that with a piece of goz strapped to my nose. Was a borderline painless recovery too outside of a very minor headache afterwards that only lasted the first night!!<br>Last time I had one done too was.. back when I was 19, and im 25 now.<br>I also had to spend one night after it in the hospital tho just to be monitored each time, and then the doc would pull the packing the next morning (except for the philly one).<br>I.. Couldn't even imagine having packing in for a week straight like that. The ONLY painful part about that surgery, imo, was the freakin packing. ***** was nightmarish, and caused the healing areas to always throb relentlessly, triggering HORRIBLE headaches and facial pains. >_<<br>Do not have that surgery done with any doctor that claims you need to have packing in for a week. They're retarded if they try to make you deal with that *****. >_<

At bareminimum, DD is going to have to have this done. Is this typically an "office" procedure or do they do it in the hospital--same day? overnight?</end quote>

I just wanted to second what Treble posted. My DDs FESS surgery was at at CHOP in Phillie which is attached to Penn in Phillie and she had no packing. I was also told that it was a more advanced procedure used. She had her 2 week follow-up today and she has no bleeding and little suctioning while she was awake took care of the rest. I am sure that there are different types of procedures done based on the actual sinus findings, but I would ask why packing needs to be done at all. My DDs recovery has gone very well.
