Prayers for my Septo-fess, anyone?

[Cheri 0]

Please pray for me... I am heading to the hospital in a few minutes to have a Septo-fess procedure. It's a sinus thing, they will be making it possible for me to breathe again!!! Woo-Hoo! But, she warned me that I will have a lot of pain and drainage. Yikes, gimme some good stuff!

I was wondering if anyone thinks I should get an unfill (lots of drainage = lots of nausea). I will have to get my bandages changed tomorrow, and my band doc is in the same medical building, so I could just have them empty me for a bit. I am in a really good spot right now, so I don't want to change anything unless I have to!!

See y'all soon...I'll be the one with a pad under my nose (just so you'll recognize me!! haha)

I'll have my hubby post when I get home (I'll do it myself if I feel up to it!!)

Good luck, Cheri! Doesn't sound pretty, but I hope you'll be feeling much better after it's done.

I wouldn't jump the gun with an unfill if you don't need it, not yet. Just try to stay alert to how you're feeling so you can get one if conditions require.

Heal fast!!

Good luck Cheri, you know you have my prayers.

I don't know anything about the procedure so I'm not sure if you should get an unfill. The doctor should be able to give you medicine for the nausea...make sure you ask.

Poor baby I'm sorry. This time of year is rough on so many people. You will be glad you had it done once it's over and you can breath again. Be good and everything will be fine.

Thanks girls!

I feel pretty good - went back to the doc yesterday to get the first set of nasal packing out. I will get the second pack out on Tuesday if all looks well, and the splint will come out in a week or so.

I have developed a fever since surgery, so I went for chest xrays (doc thinks I have pneumonia, I think she's right:sick ), but otherwise I feel pretty good!

I didn't get an unfill, boy I LOVE phenergan!:notagree I think all bandsters should be required to keep it in the house! I am having some nausea from time to time, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be!

Thanks again for your prayers!!
