I recently had surgery performed by Mr Verma at Nuffield Hospital in Leeds to remove nasal polyps and also to drain my cheeks of mucus which had been building up over the last 4 years to a point where I found my daily life a misery, my nose either ran constantly and I had to wedge tissues into my nostrils or I was bunged up to a point where I would panic because I could not breath. I suffered terrible headaches and fatigue because I was not sleeping, even eating was a chore as I could not eat and breathe at the same time. After the surgery (which was done under a general), I felt no pain, or suffered any bleeding and immediately felt positive affects from the surgery. I could breathe easily, my nose stopped running and the headaches disappeared. I had pain killers prescribed but I really didn't need them, a nasal spray wash to use twice a day and also a sick note for 2 weeks off work to recover fully. 6 weeks on I still feel brilliant, my life had changed literally overnight. I can taste and smell for the first time in years!!! and it is amazing. I just wish I had had the procedure done earlier, I really thought nothing could be done for me after numerous trips to my own GP and many courses of various nasal sprays which did nothing to alleviate the problem. I would like to say thank you so much to Mr Verma for giving me my life back. Also I would like to thank all the staff at Nuffields for such a pleasant stay with them, nothing was too much trouble, more a hotel than a hospital. Highly recommend Mr Sanjay Verma and Nuffields, would not hesitate to go back.
