Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

After giving a lot of thoughts over last couple months, I have decided to do the surgery(both tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy). It is scheduled for this Friday. ENT doctor said I have very small tonsils and adenoids. He wants me to test my breath ~3-4 weeks after surgery. I will be on antibiotics af...

Fedup, I think I have a similar bb problem as yours. I feel that the smell is coming from the right side and reading your recovery process hasnt given me much optimism for this surgery. I met up with ENT doc last week and he was able to find small amount of adenoids via endoscopy. All that is left i...

I have read so many of users post where their bb started around age 11. Thats when mine started as well... This is a great thread..I am thinking most of us have something in common that led us to this condition..cant figure out what it is though... Did you guys have any accidents as a kid which led ...

Fedup.. I am starting to believe my smell is coming from the right side..no..i think its a fact.. I hope this is it for you which would put me in more optimistic position. How much did it cost you? I would also like to hear from those who went to Dr. Larian's for this surgery..I think there was at l...

How would you compare your bb before the surgery and during the recovery? Is it similar or much worse during the recovery time until the scabs fall off

Hey Jess, 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.

Hey Jess,

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.

9years, Do you mind telling me your first name so I can refer your case when I visit ENT? I am in the process of saving up to fly out to California and get this done. I understand that it might not be the cure for me but its the most promising thing I have read on this forum. And I feel like it is i...

Good luck Fedup!!
I hope this is it for you.

I think most(if not all) of us agree that we will take any short-term physical pain over living with this curse the rest of our lives.

Hey 9years, If I want to get this done, I would rather have it done by a doctor who has an experience with actual bb sufferer. I think you mentioned that you are in California which means I will have to fly out there(I am from East Coast). Could you provide me with the name of surgeon and what kind ...

hang in there man!!!

haha...my dog does the same..

what kind of insurance do you guys have/recommend?

I get that low deductible will generally be high premium but do regular insurance cover this surgery?

which should I go through with first?

Tonsillectomy or Adenoidectomy?

Hey 9years, I am very happy when I see a successful story on this site. Most of us are getting through each day not knowing if bb will ever be cured but reading fellow sufferer's success story gives us hope and huge boost emotionally. Have you been bb free since the surgery? I dont even remember wha...
