It does sound like you have a really great fear of surgery. I have not had UPPP surgery (that might be the next step for me since they don't combine the surgeries over here). I did have septoplasty done 7 weeks ago and it really was absolutely nowhere near as bad as I feared. Like you I had gone just about everywhere on the net looking for information and probably overdosed on the stuff (I think you really can know TOO much). After looking at so many gorey pictures I really had assumed that it was going to be much worse than it was.

I really hope you can find a way to get past this so you can get on the road to finding some relief.
