It was a hell of an experience.
At one point I woke up and was having what seemed a panic attack so they had to give me more drugs.
Now the waiting game begins.
Eating was really strange.

Graceful Annette It was a hell of an experience.
At one point I woke up and was having what seemed a panic attack so they had to give me more drugs.
Now the waiting game begins.
Eating was really strange. Ah just have pudding and mash potatos its what I did. I got all four of mine out 2 weeks ago on wednesday. My experience was weird too. The guy I went to doesn't use anesthesia he uses something else that like no clue what it was. So like I go in, they put me in the chair, put a blanket over me, put one of those heart rate things on my finger, put these like metal clasps on my wrists that were checking something about my body, put my left arm in a brace, leave me for what seemed like ever, doctor comes in puts an iv in my arm (not connected to a fluid bag) then he takes a syringe with a clear liquid which was the drug they used, connect it to the end of the iv, put it in me, and I just go to this place of there but not there. Like I could see the lights and their faces, but not any of my teeth coming out or the tools going in or even the gauze, at one point i could hear the dull sound of the tool, felt a very dull pain at one point which I think was them pulling out one of the teeth, remember gagging like 3 or 4 times. I feel that pain, gag, next thing I know I am up right in the chair, done, and the nurse tells me to get up, and helps me down the hall to the recovery room, I lay down, my mom comes back cause she was there with me cause I don't drive, and in 5 minutes of her coming back there I am leaving, then by the time we got home which was a kinda long drive, and we stopped to check the mail, I am totally fine, and walked into the house on my own. The worst part for me after it was the week of no hard or crunchy foods and the pain in my jaws. Now my problem is flushing out one of the of the holes I got. It's just annoying to do it after every time I eat, cause some of mine where in so I am used to using them to chew.

I had all four wisdom teeth removed in 2010. They gave three options for anesthesia:
1. 14 Novocaine shots only
2. Laughing gas and 14 Novocaine shots
3. Laughing gas first, then IV sedation (you do fall asleep), and 14 Novocaine shots once you're asleep.
I did option 3. Because the IV sedation puts you to sleep, but not fully like with general anesthesia, I had to be connected to so many things. Pulse oximeter, a blood pressure cuff that activated every five minutes, and sticky things attached to me like for an EKG (but with less sticky things). Only two things went wrong. One major, one minor.
Major thing: They kept the laughing gas on for too long and it was affecting my vision and how I was hearing speech. I had to say "Help." for something to be done.
Minor thing: I was poked with the IV needle 3 times. Now I like needles so that wasn't a big deal. What happened was they put the needle in my right hand. No IV flow. Same needle in my right arm. No IV flow. They realized the needle was bent. New needle in my left arm. Flow!
It only felt like I was asleep for a few minutes before I woke up. There were two nurses and my oral surgeon before the procedure, and I woke up with one nurse in the room. Everything went well. I had to see an oral surgeon since all 4 teeth were impacted. No, I didn't say anything weird when I woke up. All I did was stare at my surgeon. When I was released from the office, I was in a wheelchair.
I was on a restricted diet during my recovery. I was only allowed a liquid diet the first day and was on soft stuff by day 3. I think it said it would be two weeks to eat normally after wisdom teeth removal.

It's just annoying to do it after every time I eat, cause some of mine where in so I am used to using them to chew. Sounds like you got what I did, which was going to sleep while they did things.
And yeah, it feels like an in-between place, I barely realized they were taking out the teeth till they got to a certain one and I guess my brain wasn't fuzzy enough andit realized something was happening so I guess I started to panic and they had to take out the tooth they were woking on before they could calm me down so I felt it.
Kind of.
Then they went ahead after I got all calm.
The worst problem came the next day when I took the pain meds they perscribed me and they made me violently sick.
I threw up for a good amount of the night until the remmenants of the meds finally came out.
I haven't taken then since and I've been rinsing with salt water and sometimes mouth wash since the salt water taste gets a little old after a while.
Did you get dry socket at all?
That's what I'm worried about getting since I ended up puking for so long.
But my mom says everything looks okay, and I have to go back to see them in four days anyway.

No, I didn't say anything weird when I woke up. All I did was stare at my surgeon. When I was released from the office, I was in a wheelchair. I was on a restricted diet during my recovery. I was only allowed a liquid diet the first day and was on soft stuff by day 3. I think it said it would be two weeks to eat normally after wisdom teeth removal. I only got three because they were impacted, the final one was too close to the sinus and it wasn't causing any major problems so they chose to leave it in for a bit and see what happens.
Plus my surgeon was scared that one wrong move could move the tooth right into the sinus above the maxilla and he didn't want to risk it.
I did option three as well and they did all the same things to me.
Lots of cables and the cuff and stuff, they almost didn't find a vein for me which has never been a problem but I guess it could have been my anxiety affecting it, if that makes any sense.
Like I said above, I guess something happened and I basically ended up having a slight panic attack in the chair as they were moving onto the other side of my mouth.
So they had to take out the tooth, calm me down, and then get going again.
The biggest problem is that the medicine they gave me for the pain made me violently sick the next night and I was basically throwing up until the meds came out of my stomach, so a good couple of hours.
I guess on the way home my post-op instructions got lost cuz we've looked everywhere and can not find them at all.

Graceful Annette The biggest problem is that the medicine they gave me for the pain made me violently sick the next night and I was basically throwing up until the meds came out of my stomach, so a good couple of hours. What medicine were you given? I was given hydrocodone and except for the first dose, I would throw up every time I'd take it (within an hour after taking it). Needless to say, that and me not being in pain after day one, I was only on it for the first day.

A friend, who used to get sick often, said a lot of people have adverse reactions to Hydrocodone and she'd get really sick everytime she took it.
I'm just scared that the throwing up will give me dry socket because I'm horrible when it comes to pain in my mouth.

I'm just scared that the throwing up will give me dry socket because I'm horrible when it comes to pain in my mouth. I was freaking out at some point because after vomiting, I typically spit. I still did, and was scared that I'd get dry socket (my dad got dry socket, and he said the part where he had to get that open pocket cleaned out hurt more than having the dry socket since the water would directly hit the nerve). Luckily I didn't. One of my stitches came out more than a week after having my wisdom teeth removed (removed on December 21st, the stitch fell out on New Year's Day), and I almost passed out when I realized it came out. I was brushing my teeth and it was past the point where it was safe to brush the teeth by the stitches. My childhood friend and her guardian were coming to visit my family, which is why I brushed my teeth. Luckily, the stitch coming out didn't negatively affect the rest of my healing. I thought the hole would have been closed before the stitch came out since I had a stitch located in the inside of my cheek (I think it was there because of an accidental cut) fall out after 4 days and it was closed. The hole was still open which is why I got scared and nearly passed out. The oral surgeon is only there on Tuesdays so I would have had to wait a few days before going back if something happened.

I think one of my stitches shortened, if that makes any sense.
They might be those dissolving ones so I'm not sure but I still feel it there in my mouth so I'm pretty sure I'm okay.
I know dry socket comes on three days after the surgery and today is day three for me so I'm hoping I'm okay.
I threw up but I resisted spitting as much as possible by just leaving my mouth open and drooling and rinsing with warm water and salt.
But everything turned out okay for you?
Why were the stitches in for so long?
If I may ask.

Graceful Annette Cythe Bloodryne Graceful Annette It was a hell of an experience.
At one point I woke up and was having what seemed a panic attack so they had to give me more drugs.
Now the waiting game begins.
Eating was really strange. Ah just have pudding and mash potatos its what I did. I got all four of mine out 2 weeks ago on wednesday. My experience was weird too. The guy I went to doesn't use anesthesia he uses something else that like no clue what it was. So like I go in, they put me in the chair, put a blanket over me, put one of those heart rate things on my finger, put these like metal clasps on my wrists that were checking something about my body, put my left arm in a brace, leave me for what seemed like ever, doctor comes in puts an iv in my arm (not connected to a fluid bag) then he takes a syringe with a clear liquid which was the drug they used, connect it to the end of the iv, put it in me, and I just go to this place of there but not there. Like I could see the lights and their faces, but not any of my teeth coming out or the tools going in or even the gauze, at one point i could hear the dull sound of the tool, felt a very dull pain at one point which I think was them pulling out one of the teeth, remember gagging like 3 or 4 times. I feel that pain, gag, next thing I know I am up right in the chair, done, and the nurse tells me to get up, and helps me down the hall to the recovery room, I lay down, my mom comes back cause she was there with me cause I don't drive, and in 5 minutes of her coming back there I am leaving, then by the time we got home which was a kinda long drive, and we stopped to check the mail, I am totally fine, and walked into the house on my own. The worst part for me after it was the week of no hard or crunchy foods and the pain in my jaws. Now my problem is flushing out one of the of the holes I got. It's just annoying to do it after every time I eat, cause some of mine where in so I am used to using them to chew. Sounds like you got what I did, which was going to sleep while they did things.
And yeah, it feels like an in-between place, I barely realized they were taking out the teeth till they got to a certain one and I guess my brain wasn't fuzzy enough andit realized something was happening so I guess I started to panic and they had to take out the tooth they were woking on before they could calm me down so I felt it.

The worst problem came the next day when I took the pain meds they perscribed me and they made me violently sick.
I threw up for a good amount of the night until the remmenants of the meds finally came out.
I haven't taken then since and I've been rinsing with salt water and sometimes mouth wash since the salt water taste gets a little old after a while.
Did you get dry socket at all?
That's what I'm worried about getting since I ended up puking for so long.
But my mom says everything looks okay, and I have to go back to see them in four days anyway. I stopped doing the salt water cause I would forget, and also it would make me want to puke so I just did that medical mouth wash they gave me twice a day. I don't think I got a dry socket. I got back to normal pretty quickly actually. But like I said the worst parts are the waiting the week for hard and crunchy foods again once you get sick of everything else, and the having to flush out any of your holes after every time you eat

Cythe Bloodryne Graceful Annette Cythe Bloodryne Graceful Annette It was a hell of an experience.
At one point I woke up and was having what seemed a panic attack so they had to give me more drugs.
Now the waiting game begins.
Eating was really strange. Ah just have pudding and mash potatos its what I did. I got all four of mine out 2 weeks ago on wednesday. My experience was weird too. The guy I went to doesn't use anesthesia he uses something else that like no clue what it was. So like I go in, they put me in the chair, put a blanket over me, put one of those heart rate things on my finger, put these like metal clasps on my wrists that were checking something about my body, put my left arm in a brace, leave me for what seemed like ever, doctor comes in puts an iv in my arm (not connected to a fluid bag) then he takes a syringe with a clear liquid which was the drug they used, connect it to the end of the iv, put it in me, and I just go to this place of there but not there. Like I could see the lights and their faces, but not any of my teeth coming out or the tools going in or even the gauze, at one point i could hear the dull sound of the tool, felt a very dull pain at one point which I think was them pulling out one of the teeth, remember gagging like 3 or 4 times. I feel that pain, gag, next thing I know I am up right in the chair, done, and the nurse tells me to get up, and helps me down the hall to the recovery room, I lay down, my mom comes back cause she was there with me cause I don't drive, and in 5 minutes of her coming back there I am leaving, then by the time we got home which was a kinda long drive, and we stopped to check the mail, I am totally fine, and walked into the house on my own. The worst part for me after it was the week of no hard or crunchy foods and the pain in my jaws. Now my problem is flushing out one of the of the holes I got. It's just annoying to do it after every time I eat, cause some of mine where in so I am used to using them to chew. Sounds like you got what I did, which was going to sleep while they did things.
And yeah, it feels like an in-between place, I barely realized they were taking out the teeth till they got to a certain one and I guess my brain wasn't fuzzy enough andit realized something was happening so I guess I started to panic and they had to take out the tooth they were woking on before they could calm me down so I felt it.
Kind of.

Was it really painful?
That's what dry socket is, when the bone and nerves under the surgery site get exposed because the blood clot was disrupted or disintegrated before it was supposed to.
The salt water is supposed to help with keeping things clean and it's what I do whenever I have a sore throat or anything; which is often; so I'm pretty used to it.
Oh my God I want to cry now whenever I watch TV and see real food commercials, I will never take eating for granted again unless I'm sick gonk
