Before I had the surgery with Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology, people would say to me, “You always have a cold,” because I was always congested. I had difficulty breathing, both during the day and night. It got to the point where I had to sleep sitting up. At work, I spend about 85% of my day on the phone, and I had trouble speaking at times because of my breathing. I had to curtail my phone usage.

Another result of my sinusitis was a complete loss of smell or taste - those two senses were completely gone.

In the past 7 months since surgery with Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology, my breathing has been 100% better. I am actually able to close my mouth and breathe at the same time, which I was never able to do. I can speak on the phone with much more clarity, and don’t have to limit my phone usage like I used to. It’s also nice to sit down to a meal and enjoy the smell and taste of my food.

Surgery with Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology was the only option I could see for myself. I don’t like to take medications, so the prospect of taking medication for the rest of my life was unappealing. I tried acupuncture and herbal medicine, which helped, but it didn’t address my sinusitis on an ongoing basis.

My life has changed dramatically. The entire process of surgery with Balloon Sinuplasty™ was very short, pain-free, and I’d recommend it to anyone.
