Goddayum this is boring. Not as painful as I expected. Just uncomfortable and boring. How long is this going to last? Surgery was about 3 hours ago.
Waking up from the anesthetic was awesome. I felt drunk.Oldschoolgamer said:It took me around 5 days or more. Enjoy the drugs!

Everyone told me the counting thing was so fun. I didn't even get to do it. The girl was like "you're going to start feeling woozy soon" and I said "I already am." Last thing I remember was her calling me a lightweight.Armitage said:I got all four out too.
I don't really remember waking up, but I remember going to sleep:
"Nah, I don't feel anything... No, nothing yet. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Still nothing. I don't think it's worOHHHHHH THERE IT IS" and out.
In my awakening stupor, I apparently talked to my father in Japanese for a good ten minutes. My father knows no Japanese.BobFromPikeCreek said:Waking up from the anesthetic was awesome. I felt drunk.

Dice Man - Nice ****ing avatar. I've been on a huge Frank Black kick, lately.

I allegedly then flipped him off and went back to sleep.
GhaleonEB said:It depends on what went wrong. My teeth were still impacted, so my recovery entailed:
1) Jaw wired shut for six weeks
2) Bleeding for nearly a month (so many sheets and pillows ruined)
3) Three dry sockets (infections) requiring follow-ups
4) One infected jawline (after the third dry socket spread)
5) Still can't open my mouth all of the way, 16 years later
I hope yours goes better.
Wait... holy shit...atomsk said:all i remember about being awake in recovery is it felt like it was 10 minutes long. i can't even remember walking to the recovery room.
my ex said she was messing with me the whole time and it was hilarious. i can't remember any of it. :lol

This is why we all should have gotten them out before the roots grew in! The people that get them out nice and early, are the ones with the least cutting to the gum.
I did both sides, 3 years in between each operation. And man, 3 years later than one side grow aplenty! Both operations were impacted, and yes, getting knocked out is nothing to be ashamed of when your wisdom teeth are growing in sideways.
They cut the tooth in 3 sections to get it out.
Correct. At least, this occurred when my wisdom teeth were removed. Intravenous sedation. (I was surprised at this myself, as I had assumed local anesthetic would be used, especially for such a short operation.)JeFfRey said:Wait wait, they put you under GENERAL anesthesia for that?!!!
I'm fairly certain you'll be receiving some sort of anesthetic, or else you have testicles made of steel.mattx5 said:Getting 4 done this Friday - agh, I hate this, I don't want to be in recovery mode for a few days, I hate operations of any sort, arrgghh.
No anesthetic here, I'm pretty sure GA for such small operations is a US phenomenon, is it not? Feel free to correct me...

I have 4 severly impacted wisdom teeth, the bottom two are riiiiiight near the nerve and the top two up against the sinus
I'm in my midtwenties, so this can't be too good.. he told me im "damned if i do, damned if I don't". And I can't even get time off work, most likely can't do it till August at the earliest.
Aaaaaand, he won't put me under, doesn't believe in anathesia. The most I can get is an IV. Yea, not looking forward to this a tall.

Quazar said:Its not that bad getting them out. I dont see why people have to be put asleep. Didnt feel shit, just heard some noise. When she said ok were done I was suprised. Was that quick and easy. Recovery sucks for first couple days, but its best to ease up on food/smoking for first few days.(Unless you want to end up back there in a week with infection) And dont drink soda!

Javaman said:It may be a good idea to switch doctors. Ask some of your co-workers for recommendations. There's bound to be a better one in town.
That's BS. Not everyone's situation is as easily fixable as yours.
Tell him to **** himself and find a better surgeon.John Harker said:Aaaaaand, he won't put me under, doesn't believe in anathesia.
