Hello everyone, I haven't been posting here regularly as I had been in the past, but I'm still pretty active in the MEBO secret group on FB. Anyway, I'm posting today to update you all. Ever since I read 9years's post about his cure from adenoid removal I was very interested in exploring that option even more as well.
Long story short, I was able to make an appointment with the ENT that did his procedure and yesterday (Friday Feb 19th) was my appointment with him. He was very nice and listened to me, and one of the exams he did was looking at the back of my nose/throat with a scope. And it shows that my adenoids are relatively large with some white stuff on them, the same white stuff that normally collect on people's tonsils that are tonsil stones. Also it shows some yellowish mucus collecting at the back of my throat.
So he agrees to remove the adenoids and someone from his office will be contacting me for more info regarding the surgery and to schedule a date for it.
Also he did recommend that I do all at once the stuff I was already doing (good oral hygiene, nasal wash, taking medication for acid reflux, probiotic supplement, etc) to fight the bad breath.
But the main thing is, like I said above, someone from his office will be contacting me regarding the procedure and I pray that this will be the cure for me.
I'll keep you all posted on everything and feel free to ask me any question.
In the process of getting my adenoids removed
Good luck Jess! I hope this turns out to be your cure. Your profile says that you are from the East Coast. If I recall, that Doctor is in California. That's an expensive and time consuming trip. Just curious, is insurance going to cover the procedure? And is the Adenoidectomy all he is going to perform?
Good luck and please give updates.
Good luck and please give updates.

Thank you halitosisux. Yes I discussed the bad breath with him. He did give me hope that may solve the problem, but of course he did not say that he guaranteed it 100%.
And @ StinkBomb, I did tell him that although I had my tonsils removed since 2004, for him to please make sure to look carefully and to remove any tonsil tissue that may still be present. And he said he'll write down adenoidectomy/possible tonsillectomy.

Hi Jess, did you ever schedule that Adenoidectomy? Another member (fuckHalitosis), had an adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy about a month ago. He just posted that he no longer has halitosis.someone from his office will be contacting me regarding the procedure and I pray that this will be the cure for me.

Here's an update, my surgery is scheduled for the end of this month. I'm currently in the process of getting all the pre-op testing done. One thing tho, this ENT Doctor is out of network with most/or all insurance, therefore I'm still not sure yet how much I'm gonna end up paying out of pocket. I should have the answer to that by next week.
But if everything goes well I'll have the surgery the end of this month.
@ FuckHalitosis, thank you very much. Reading your posts gives me even more hope. I'm praying this is it for me. I'm tired of living this nightmare. I've been suffering from this for 16 years now; I want my life back.
Hello everyone, just wanna let you know I had my surgery today (adenoidectomy). The doctor said there was a lot of greenish discharge that came out of the adenoids. And he thinks that's most likely what was causing the issue (chronic bad breath).
He gave me a prescription for pain med to take as needed, as well as a prescription for antibiotic to take for 1 week.
In terms of the procedure, it lasted about 45 minutes or so and then I stayed another hour in recovery, then I went home.
Btw, this doctor says that the previous doctor who did my tonsillectomy in 2004 did a good job, and so there was no tonsil tissue to remove again this time. So only the adenoids were removed today.
I'll continue to keep you posted on how things are going with me and whether or not this procedure is the cure for me. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have; I'll be happy to answer them.
