I tolerated the anesthesia very well. I recovered from the nose surgery anesthesia much faster than the shoulder surgery anesthesia (versed was used with the shoulder).
What kind of sinus surgery are you considering ?

Thanks for the response Mark! I'm not completely sure my ENT said I have a partially deviated septum and sinus disease (chronic sinusitis). I wanted to do balloon sinuplasty because that's local anesthesia but my insurance doesn't cover that. Whatever I do will have to be under general anesthesia. Thinking it might be worth it though because I have sinus pressure along with headaches a lot.
