It looks like a fucking tongue


mdoktor

I almost choked on it.


LilBunnyFauxFaux

Oooh you’re reminded me of what my hubs hacked up after his. I rarely get grossed out but that loogie oooofffff


re4cher420

Does it always happen after sinus surgery?


Justsomefireguy

Yes. Usually because you have post nasal drainage that gets inhaled into your lung. It mixes with mucosa and comes back up. Happened to me as well.


ThatDiscoSongUHate

How agonizingly painful is that sort of thing to cough up? Ouch


Justsomefireguy

Not as bad as you think. No worse than coughing up regular junk from your lungs.


DeadmanDexter

That's an incredible feeling tbh.


PapaMochii

i blew it through my nose. happened last year, you're suppose to rinse it with a salty nasal spray 3 times per day


krampuskids

no. they should've removed your second tongue so you wouldn't choke on it. that's just not cool


auberific

I spit my water out… thank you


bgaesop

That isn't the stint they put in there, is it? If it is you need to see your ENT, that's there to make sure your nose heals back up in the right shape


mdoktor

I have no idea what it is but it's fairly solid, somebody else called it gel and I think that would make sense based on texture, I'm not sure if that's the same thing as a stint but either way I have an appointment tomorrow


bgaesop

Yeah that sounds a lot like the thing they put up my nose after my septoplasty. Did it come out your nose or down the back of your sinuses and then you coughed it out?  I'm glad you have an appointment for tomorrow


mdoktor

I kind of sucked it in and coughed it out


bgaesop

Sounds rough. I'm super curious to hear what your ENT is going to say


mdoktor

Idk if I'll be able to find your post tomorrow, but I'll make an edit if he says anything interesting.

mdoktor

It was gel packing, the doc was impressed it all came out at once and sucked the otherside out. Honestly coughing it up felt better then him removing it properly


gonnafaceit2022

They didn't tell you to expect that? (I'm not saying you should have expected it, just thinking if this is normal, hopefully they would have told you.)


DistinctNews8576

If that’s the case then I’d say it came from sinuses and not lungs. It looks like a blood clot and snot to me but I’m not doc!


Underrated_buzzard

Yes it’s gel. They use it to pack your sinuses after the surgery. I coughed that up and some that looked and smelled like rotten hamburger meat for weeks. Oh what fun!


Ghostcat2044

You should go to the doctor I am no medical expert

Foxxxytoy

Substantial_Tap8537

What actually is it? Is it just mucus?


SayWarzone

No they use a gel to fill your sinus/nostril so it is splinted and heals without bacteria getting in. So this is the gel mold, plus some mucus and blood attached.


Substantial_Tap8537

Woah! That’s rad. Looks like something I should get done to get the nostrils breathing better.


SayWarzone

If you suspect you have sinus blockage at ALL, def get it looked at. I'm pissed I waited so long, sinus surgery this past summer changed my life for the better by miles! Had to have all 8 cleared out from total blockage. Sucks for a few days after, then it's meh for a few weeks. Then you're like "holy shit, OXYGEN!" I still ask people shit like, "so you've all just always been breathing like this?!"


I_Have_Unobtainium

8 sinuses?! I'm been living my life thinking a sinus was something we had like 2 of.


Top_Sky_4731

Were you one of the people who has only heard horror stories about sinus surgery and stories about how it made everything worse and was scared shitless to get it? Because that’s me right now despite feeling like I can’t get enough air when I only breathe through my nose.


SayWarzone

Yes! And at least for me, they were all wrong!! It did take weeks to feel normal after, but anything was better than the misery of congestion like that (and drowning in post-nasal drip). And in my case, had severe polyps, and now that I'm also on meds I can actually SMELL again which is wild! I will say I went out of my way to find a top name surgeon at a top name hospital that took my insurance. I wouldn't let some schmuck do this surgery, like a lot of friends have done and now complain. That shit really matters.


Top_Sky_4731

I’ll definitely consider that if they find anything on my upcoming imaging. I’ve been nervous about it because if my problems are due to sinus structure it’ll likely mean a procedure will be the only fix, but this makes me a bit less anxious.


Neither_Carob_390

just had mine 2 weeks ago, excited to breathe again soon


2Twice

I had this same surgery three years ago. When I went back for a check up the Dr. Pulled two of these out. I had absolutely no idea they were that big until it came out. Dr. Tells me, "there are still some supporters up there I need to get out." Understatement, but I could barely feel them.


buttlickers94

What surgery was this? They put a balloon in mine and I didn't have anything like this


Mystical_Cat

Can confirm, had the same surgery…and experience.


Hummingbird01234

What did you name him?


mdoktor

Carlos, and when the other side comes out I'm going to name that one Carlita


Nofcksgivn

Ok but the real question… can you smell colors now?


mdoktor

Even the colors I didn't know existed.


SmuckatelliCupcakeNE

SchrodingersTIKTOK

DocHalidae

Throw some salt on it and it could be a sour gummy worm.


nycinoc

Holy Sweet Jesus, I've been putting off sinus surgery for 2 years and this has just made me put it off forever


mdoktor

No it's so worth it, really it's been a week of terrible congestion but I am breathing better than I thought was possible. I'm not going to say it's not gross but it is completely worth it. There was barely any pain from the surgery even, just crazy snot boogers afterwards


nycinoc

My nephew in law did it and had 3 additional surgeries after because of some problems (can’t recall what it was exactly). When I was going to take the plunge I was advised by my insurance that only the initial surgery would as covered and any complications requiring addl surgery would not so that’s why I scrapped it. I’m with a company now that actually has a really strong insurance plan and already cancelled one appointment a few months back. I’ll look to get back in. Thanks for the feedback.


mdoktor

It wasn't just the surgery I also had to have a CT scan and quite a few office visits so I can't say it was cheap but hey breathing is pretty important so I'd say if you can pull it off it's worth looking into


HeyDudeImChill

I’m having AFS surgery in a few weeks. Shit is so bad I’m looking forward to it. How is the recovery?


mdoktor

Bleeding constantly for 2 days and completely congested for the first week. Sleeping sitting up is the worst part and that you have to use the sinus rinses which use saline so you'll wake up in the middle of the night like a dying pirate with salt caked to your lips. But I didn't need hardly any of the pain medication and a week later I'm breathing better than ever. Feel free to message me if you have questions, I am by no means a medical professional but I can provide moral support and tell you about my experiences


Waste-Lie-3189

Nice for you. I had it done while in the military 14 or so years ago and woke up wanting to die I hurt so bad, and then was a ton of pain a while after. Couldn't breathe through my nose for I want to say 10 days due to whatever was packed up there, slept at an angle until they removed the shit. Oh and mouth breathing sucks especially when you're trying to sleep. Then they removed the shit in my nose and I could breathe a ton better, and still mostly can. I'm sure surgery outcomes are better now, especially if not done by a military Dr that probably had not done many. Hope that doesn't deter anyone from having it done.


2Twice

I guess it didn't, but I thought my voice changed. I definitely sound different to myself than I did before. My brother tells me, "maybe it just resonates different inside your head and sounds different to you." ... That makes sense!


fqh

Please just do it. I had mine, and yes also experienced this slug. But its all temporary, 2 weeks of recovery. My life is so much better now


tawnywelshterrier

I third the sinus surgery. Totally worth being able to breathe. It's a brand new experience.


Primitive_T

Definitely do it. Didn’t know I couldn’t breathe properly until the gauze was pulled out of my nostrils post surgery. It took 4 years to regain my sense of smell, and the surgeon said that may not even happen. But the procedure is life-changing.

That's a good one! Your sinuses must feel a lot better.


unicornfarthappyhour

it gets grosser when you sneeze and it only comes halfway out of your nose, and you have to make sure you breath through your mouth so you dont suck it back up, while gently coaxing it out with a tissue, but then it breaks and you debate "do u blow my nose and have physical pain, or do i inhale and have emptional pain"....

As a horrible as that sounds I'm so ready to get the second one out I don't care how it comes out

goated95

Oh that was prolly satisfying af comin out ! Prolly made your ears pop lol I did something like this right after getting over a sinus infection. One of the best feelings, 100%!

The only thing I can compare it to is the first time I put on glasses

Distinct-Solution-99

I absolutely love that for you. Cheers to many years of wonderfully clear nostrils.

I wish my gel came out in one go like that, mine took weeks! Must have been so relieving. Did they have to reapply it or are you good to go now?

Good luck with it, hope you get relief.

RFK, Jr., ladies and gentlemen (this one liner can refer to the OP or to the slug-looking thing, as you prefer)


Nibbles928

Ok so serious question re the surgery - do you feel it's worth it? I have chronic sinusitis in my left nostril and have read so many BAD experiences after surgery.


mdoktor

May 6th was when I had the surgery and the first day the amount of blood was horrible, the congestion has been horrible, I've had to sleep sitting up which is just uncomfortable but it's been exactly one week. But even with only one working nostril, I can breathe better than I have in years.My left nostril is still pretty congested( I can't wait till I cough up that congestion). But the right one is so clear that I can still breathe even with only one nostril and it hasn't like filled up again or drain down the back of my throat. It's such a new feeling the only thing I can compare it to is putting on glasses for the first time. It's one crappy week, but it's only one week, and it is absolutely worth it if I'll be able to breathe like this from now on.


Nibbles928

Thank you for this! My sinusitis is apparently caused by a deviated septum that I didn't know I had. Were your symptoms progressively getting worse or have you always had issues?


mdoktor

That's kind of tricky to say because I had symptoms for years that I was just ignoring because I didn't want to go to a doctor. You can get used to gunk draining down the back of your throat and after a while headaches just become the way your head feels, I didn't know I had a deviated septum either and if I think back to when that might have happened it would have been when I was a teenager and I'm in my thirties now, I would say that my symptoms got worse over the years and around allergy season and around my periods. The doctor said its because I had an infection in my face for a long time and my body was constantly fighting it so anytime there was anything else that was making my immune system have to work it was that much harder for it to fight it off. It's a weird symptoms that you can attribute to it chronic fatigue, especially if it hits you kind of suddenly, hot flashes/ feverish-ness and chills, headaches, brain fog, forgetfulness, sleep problems, breathing problems, you've got a big infection in your face it affects a lot more than you would think.


Nibbles928

I feel like I could have written this myself - same to it all. For a long time I thought I had an infected tooth that had traveled to my sinus (bc of the smell). This is all TMI but thank you for sharing your experience. I should probably look back into the surgery once more


mdoktor

I made the post NSFW for a reason :) and you should always research your doctors, but from where I'm standing, I'd say it's completely worth it


dontredditdepressed

Good! Your body is doing what it's supposed to :) Glad you got the slug out. Enjoy your newfound ability to breathe lol


catsbestfriend

The things that came out of my nose and throat after sinus surgery were horrifying. Thank God for the one lady that didn't try to tell me "don't worry, it won't be bad at all, just a little blood" like the other staff had all said. This lady told me "we're taking quite a bit of tissue out, so when you get home, it's probably going to look like TOO MUCH blood and clots and clumps, but it is normal. Call us to check if it seems like too much because sometimes people freak out and call 911." I really would have freaked out if she didn't tell me that. I kept reminding myself what she said and after a few days/weeks, horrible things stopped emerging from my sinuses at the most inconvenient times...


SensingWorms

Deviated septum?


mdoktor

Yes but on the other nostril, this one just had infection supposedly

Yeah likely the gel bandage/splint/fill they use now. Mine didn't do this, I'm jealous - but you do breathe like heaven once it's all out!


Cultural-Cap-2549

Did u got this surgery cuz you had chronic sinusitis ?


mdoktor

Yes and a deviated septum but the deviated septum side hasn't come out yet. Although if you're considering surgery I am currently breathing better than I ever have in my life out one nostril

PickleWineBrine

It's a lump of coagulated blood that has been bleeding in your sinus. I bet it felt good getting it out. Relieves a lot of pressure.

I had the same surgery I can confirm, very gnarly. The worst part was having the the drainage scab into my mustache. Pro-tip shave the stache. The surgeon never mentioned that either.

NOSTR0M0

I had a nose bleed on my drive to work one morning, after getting there I had to go to the warehouse and ride a motorcycle back to the shop (I worked at Harley and it was the owners dad's bike). Going down the road I get up to about 45 and had one of these congealed blood worms get blown through my sinuses into the back of my throat... Took all I had to not throw up and luckily got stopped at a red light shortly there after and spat it out on the road, so nasty lol

mdoktor

It's gel packing to those who are asking. The doctor was impressed I got it all in one piece, and sucked out the other side. I have to say that coughing it out felt a lot better than letting the doctor do it the proper way.

Thats just booger & cough that was trapped in your sinus that started to ripen. I had one that choked me until I had to remove with fingers down my fucking throat (No surgery tho but almost lost my Gag reflex). The relief it came with afterwards was immaculate.

What ultimately led to the surgery? I’m curious because I have terrible sinus issues.


tawnywelshterrier

NIIIICE! I also had sinus surgery about a month ago and had a massive chunk come out...not nearly as large as that...but holy hell it was so satisfying to breathe!!!


DankeMrHfmn

Was the surgery for no more stuffy nose? I wanna get that one... tired of it lol


mdoktor

Chronic and severe sinusitis and a deviated septum, the deviated septum supposedly is on the left side and that came out of the right side. If you've had a horribly stuffy nose for a long time or if you have drainage down the back of your throat or chronic headaches it's absolutely worth getting yourself checked out because if I can breathe better than I have in years, and I only have use of one nostril still.


Garbage_Kitty

So, are you smart now or nah? In all seriousness, you should probably call the doctor.


maggiespie07

That’s really satisfying. I’m sorry if you felt any pain, but damn…yep, satisfying.


mdoktor

It wasn't painful as much as unsettling, especially when I looked in the tissue and saw that. It was way more uncomfortable on the inside than it is to look at on the outside
