Has anyone had Surgery for Dacryocystitis?

Question

I was diagnosed with a severe case of Dacryocystitis, which is an infected sac connected to your tear glands. I have been on antibiotics and in/out of the hospital for the last two weeks to get the swelling and pain manageable. My Opthometrist is sending me to a specialist on monday, and it's possible they may have to operate to remove any obstruction. Has anyone had this done? Is it painful? Do they put you under? Will it leave scarring? I'd really like to know the breakdown of any procedures they'll do on me. Thanks for ANY serious answers.

No. But, you should ask your doctor ALL of this stuff before it is done. I mean, really, it is your body, ASK! Good luck and Ihope all is well for you!
