Balloon Sinoplasty

Post by Tesseract » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:20 pm

My ENT is doing a balloon sinoplasty Friday. Anyone know how long I need to stay away from my APAP machine afterward? Luckily on Thursday my Dentist is getting in my custom sleep apnea night guard so I will be able to use that until I can use the cpap again. I'm a bit concearned that my cpap machine caused my chronic sinus infections even though I keep it super clean.

You need to ask your ENT this question.

First thing I asked my ENT before the procedure. I was off for one week. Everyone is different. It was my 4th sinus surgery and by far the easiest and quickest recovery that I ever had. Good luck.
