Yes, Sweetie, you will be sedated (put slap to sleep so you will not know a tube has been inserted anywhere!!!! If you explain to the nurse or Dr before hand that you are extremely nervous, they may give you a little something to knock the edge off before you go to the surgical room. My brother just had this procedure done. Once in surgical room, you will be given something through your IV, and its off to LALA LAND! When you wake up it will be all over. You will be able to breath through your nose a few months later a heck of a lot better! Anymore questions? Hope I've put your mind at ease!

thank you for your useful information, it puts my mind at ease

one more question, how is the recovery period? why will it take a few months for me to notice the difference in breathing through my nose? will it really take that long for everything to heal? thanks!

It does take time for the body to heal, and some people heal a lot quicker than others. I can't tell you it will be 2 months or 4 months, as you might notice a change within a few weeks. Close your eyes and try to concentrate on what you are feeling when you breath through your nose at this moment. Do this seeral times a day and tell yourself you are going to remember how this feels, because once surgery is over and you start to heal, you can compare it to what you felt before. You're gonna be fine champ! Hang in there!
