Why i chose to have septoplasty!

So, I know this post is a bit morbid but this is something i went through recently and i thought it would help some of you itching to know about the different personal experiences with septoplasty.
Anyway, I have been suffering from constant nasal congestion, sneezing a hundred times every morning, head aches, colds, throat infections and what not for the past 3 years. I didn't really have any symptoms before that but it all started around three years ago. I also get severe ear pain when i fly and i am an aspiring flight attendant and obviously the two don't mix. Now i got this surgery after getting the opinions of four E.N.T doctors because i wanted to be sure that this will eradicate my ear pain whilst on a plane. They told me that with my indications there is a 99 percent chance that the ear pain will resolve itself after the surgery. They also told me that with the current shape my nose is in, being a flight attendant would be next to impossible. 
Bottom line - I had to get this surgery if i wanted to be a flight attendant so I thought why not because it will cure so many of my other problems too.
My specific problems were:
  • Deviated septum
  • Bilateral Concha Bullosa
  • Ethmoid and Sphenoid sinuses 
I would really love a life where i don't get constant head aches, colds and all that jazz because i am young  and it is really not fun to be sick all the time. The thought of surgery freaked me out but i kept holding on to the thought of the benefits i will get from it.
Keep on reading to know what happened to me.
