r/sinus

I'm scheduled to get a balloon sinuplasty procedure done at Advent in Maple Grove MN. I was excited because I get a sinus infections monthly and want to stop taking medications.

I've met my deductible, so cost isn't an issue but I've been reading some bad reviews about this procedure at Advent. They say it's a hard procedure and it takes a long time to heal.

Has anyone had this procedure done at Advent? They told me I'd be feeling good again after the first follow-up appointment a week after the procedure, but I'm reading that isn't the case. I also see advent just getting roasted online so I feel like there's a better option now.

Have had dry eyes/ sinuses/ lips for a while, however in the last 1-2 years has got significantly worse especially in cold low humidity months/ areas. Have tried all the gels and gels but nothing seems to help with the dryness, will constantly wake up with dried and or congested sinuses full of chunks of blood etc. Any idea what could help this?
