Soo. My primary doc noticed that i somehow have a small passage hole to my throat.

Sent me to an ENT

The ent said he never in his life seen a situation this bad and had seen people stop breathing who had double the hole size.

(Hole size) meaning my throat passageway,

Im haveing emergency surgery tomorrow to have my Tonsils, uvula, and Adenoids removed.

Sucks. I got GOOD INS and its still gonna cost me 3k.


Anyone ever had this procedure done? Doc said it will be the most painfull thing i ever experienced..

Kinda got me worried.

Get ya some ice cream and milkshakes, will have a sore throat, ask him if he suggests lidocaine lollipops, it will help with the pain. Good luck .

I had my tonsils out at 33 & it ain't a picnic. Worrying won't help, it will be what it will be. There will be plenty of time to worry later. What helped me most was ice packs on the outside & holding crushed ice on the inside, then spitting it out, when you are able to open your mouth enough to let anything in. My advice would be to stay in the hospital as long as possible so you can get pain meds via a needle & be hydrated by an IV bag. They sent me home the same day with pain meds I could not swallow & it took several days for me to be able to swallow water. I wouldn't count on being able to tolerate ice cream for a while,& besides it tends to create mucous & it will hurt to cough for a while. DO USE the incentive spirometer as directed as the anesthesia gas is nasty stuff & getting rid of thick sputum, while not fun, will help you breath easier. When you are able to open your mouth enough to have a look see, DON'T WORRY, you aren't growing a new penis in your throat! That will be your swollen Uvula. When they send you home get your meds as suppositories or liquids that you will be able to use. Make sure your wife steals some gloves so she can help deliver the suppositories, unless she prefers to go bareback, & make sure she unwraps them before use. She can also help by cupping/clapping on your back to loosen & bring up phlegm. Surgery will likely be over by the time you read this. Feel free to contact me if you have questions, & I'll check in here on fohaf more often. GET WELL SOON.

Those suppositories should be a walk in the park for him. More like fun for him!!! J/K bud.. get well soon Carlos!

[Cr0ck1]

Home. All out. Uvula, tonsils & atanoids

Liquid pain killer and fluids.

Last night in the hospital was a rough night.

Drink plenty of broth. 9 out of 10 surgeons recommend hog ball broth, lol. Lucky it's your favorite. You can ask members to save you the nuggets.

[Cr0ck1]

My problem is... since the uvela is gone its hard to sleep cause mucus from my nose keeps slowly filling my throat and gurgling and not allowing me to sleep.

[treefarmer]

Glad you came through the surgery and you should be back on track in a little while. What did the doc say about recovery time?
