I had my surgery in march and I found out after my surgery From my ENT when I came in that I did not need any sort of turbinate surgery., I needed allergy shots before anything g. My PS told me different .I had to if I wanted my nose done. My taste & smell are awful. I can't smell and I can't taste much. I can taste very sweet , very salty and my love for hot sauce has gone away. Everything's to hot. How long does this take to go away?. I have lost 10lbs since surgery .
