Did the private hospital try and put you off even though you was paying - im thinking i need to check this route out. So gutted i never got both done at once, not to mention my left side seems to be growing back. I also have darker wax in my left ear which is like treacle compared too honey on the right.

didn't try to put me off but was skeptical and "couldn't guarantee" that it would work. but was willing to do it without any sort of arm twisting.

if you have regrowth or remnants i'd ask to get those out too.

after 1st tonsillectomy there was a big chunk of tonsil tissue left over on my right side. had a remnant tonsillectomy to remove that chunk but still no luck. adenoidectomy- hopefully 3rd time's a charm but we'll see.

and thanks jimi. although i'm still sensing bad smells up there i'm just keeping an open mind at the moment. don't want to pop the bubbly too early.

I am planning just to go to Thailand for surgery, is is really cheap like 1000 usd and they use laser. So I think that is the right move for me. I am done with my country, you have to wait like 6 months for appointment, ***k that. I am so done with that.

Just over 2 weeks since my surgery(Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy). There are still scabs waiting to fall off in the tonsil area. Bloody mucous from nasal area still there though very little. Mouth feels fresh without even having to brush! Attended a party yesterday and no reactions from anybody despite talking from close up. Hope this is not a dream. Just as Mindy and 9years said, it will take time for us to get the bad breath issue out of our mind and be normal. Before surgery, I used to use lots of toothpaste and take almost 40 minutes for brushing. Now, using a fraction of it. For years, stopped eating sweets, sodas, milk or anything that could increase the bb. Yesterday, I drank coke in years and no reactions.
Don't want to sound like this is the magic bullet for everybody, but in my case it is making a difference so far. Sorry for the delay in posting, I will try to post regularly from now.

jiazzsy that's awesome! How long have you been off the anti biotics so far? And if you don't mind could you describe your condition a bit? The severity, tongue coating, taste in mouth, PND and all that. Thanks.

A correction...it will be 2 weeks in 2 days...stopped antibiotics for 3 days now...bb severity was different at different times....but would get reactions from atleast 1 metre away...despite all this...I work and have a good supportive family...before surgery, the tongue coating would be thick in the mornings and I stopped brushing in the evenings to enable body to develop its immunity...now...it is very little...hardly have to scrap.
had a lot of pnd....still have it but a bit reduced....taste was normal...completely avoided sugars, sodas, fruit juices, milk and other bb increasing foods before surgery. I will start trying them in the coming days.

Not to be a party pooper but antibiotics kill BB bacteria for like 5 days. Please report again in a couple of days to let us know if you're still BB free.

For me, it usually takes about ten days for my bb to return after an antibiotic course.

Post by **Jimi Stein** » Wed Jun 03, 2015 9:01 pm

I am still not sure if this works. Fedup is still stinky after 3 weeks post op I guess, you took antibiotics, that we all knew kill the bb temporarily and it always comes back, so this is no proof this works.

Also some people clamied after removal of palatine tonsils bb dissapeared for a month, than it came back....

but I hope we have a slight more chance beating this horrible affliction

Read my sticky thread. I was free of all halitosis and mucus symptoms for 2 months following tonsillectomy. It came back but not as bad as before. I believe the IV antibiotics are what helped at the time. You should wait 6 months before posting a true cure. I do hole it has worked for you though...everyone is different.

I currently do not have an insurance hence it will be all out of pocket. I will be contacting their office soon and find out everything I need to know.
Thanks for your reply feelitagain. I'll be following your posts to see your feedback from them.
And also, thank you very much to 9years and mindyb for all the updates; and I have to say I've contacted 9years and have spoken to him over the phone on two different occasions. He was very helpful and answered all my questions both times. I truly appreciate it 9years.
My plan is to go to California to see the same Dr that operated on 9years. Right now it's just a matter of planning because I don't have insurance.
Hey Jess,

I contacted Dr. Larian's team and was able to gather some information.

They are out of network and the total cost of the surgery for me would be $3,000 Please keep in mind that the total cost is based on both tonsillectomy(I havent done it) and adenoidectomy. I am not sure what the cost would be for having just adenoidectomy done.
We also have to consider other expenses such as flight/hotel/food/etc..

They told me I would need about ~2days of rest after the surgery as well. I am particularly worried about the post surgery part..It seems that other members who went through this surgery are dealing with nasty odor as part of the recovering process and I dont want to stink up the plane..not sure how bad the smell is...If someone can comment on it..that would be great..

What am I gonna do? I am still thinking about finding someone local but leaning towards getting it done with someone with experience.
It would be great to hear from mindyb on her status. I want to know how her morning breath is/any reaction from her family members/etc...

Thank you for your reply feelitagain

Jiazzsy please don't be deterred from giving feedback, whatever stage you're at. We understand you'd taken antibiotics and had only recently finished taking them.

can you believe i'm still healing???

Still spitting gobs of bloody tissue with mucus stuck to it.

The smell is slowly fading but jesus christ.

I can feel a scab or something still up there tickling. It has to come any day now. im disgusted that it's taken this long. the bits im snorting out come in little balls of tissue/blood and when i crush them they smell like a real eggy drain. i stunk the work place out the other day and it was the same smell. stuck my finger back there last night, the smell on finger was like blood/fart. this is getting quite tiresome, this shit has to heal soon. 4 weeks post op. it's either infected or my low white blood count is preventing a quick healing process.

edit- the bits im hacking out are not tonsil stones, just dead tissue which smell upon putting to nose but the smell is worse when squished.
