    Just got out of surgery, had a deviated septum fixed. Easy as cake, only 35 minutes or so, throat hurts from the tube but i feel fine otherwise. Recommend it for anyone that needs it.

    Got one done. Didn't help me much, can still only breath out of one nostril at a time.

    Just wait til you do your follow up and they pull the dressing out of your nose! Ouuuuuuch...

    Actually, there is no stuffing in my nose. Just a little gauze under my nose to catch any "leakage".

    I might need a tumor removed from my anus. No joke.

    Haha, I thought it was normal too. I never questioned it until I was about 15.

    High School wrestling was always fun trying to breath with one nostril with your face planted in the mat.

    Umm, go to an ear/nose/throat dr. to get it checked. It is elective, but it is not cosmetic and I guess can be considered a health issue. I was covered by insurance and I assume most would be. Only about 35 minutes, really i'm having no pain, just a little discomfort under my nose and plenty of dried blood. Really am not sure what they did, I will find out in 2 weeks when i go for my checkup.

    I broke my nose on a diving board when I was a kid & had that fixed about 15 years ago. The month after surgery was miserable partly because I did not get proper ice packs in the hospital in the 1st 24. I still have problems breathing at night lying down but at least my nose is strait.
