My ducts got scarred shut by WG about twenty years ago. I had surgery to correct one side and just a few months ago had surgery to fix the other side. Tear duct problems are fairly common with Wg.
The good news is that the surgery to correct scarred ducts is WAY less invasive than it was twenty years ago. They developed a new procedure that is really not a big thing.
The old procedure was to drill a one inch hole through the bone in my face and re-do the plumbing.

That kinda hurt. The new procedure in the words of my doc is about a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 ... with ten being the old procedure. He is right, the new fix is not a big deal at all. And it works really good. I had it done about 5 months ago and my eye drainage is still fantastic. So don't put off the fix if a time comes when you think you need it.
