Only a wuss needs to be put out.

Just the two wisdom teeth on my right side took 6 hours and I was awake the whole time.

Fvck the "only a wuss needs.." haters like yourself.

It was beautiful. They ran an IV and I was out very quickly. I woke up after a quick operation (6 hours? hahahah) in which all four of them were removed. Had very little bleeding, zero swelling. I wouldn't change a single thing.

Ouch man. Hope you enjoy the vicodin and the milkshakes. The one thing you need to remember is do NOT use a straw. That ****** will hurt like nothing you can imagine.

Yeah they told me using a straw causes suction which can remove the blood clot from the wound, causing it to open up. Ah, cant wait for the salt-water rinse tomorrow!

Skyking - Lol, same here! They gave me laughing gas and I remember an IV being stuck in me and me talking in slow motion to them, and the next thing I know I'm sitting in a wheelchair. Then after that, I dont remember getting to the car or the drive home (my dad drove), or me peeing all over the toilet seat when getting home! Lol, didnt find out about that till my sister went to use the bathroom.

All four impacted, nearly went into cardiac arrest in the recovery room after the surgery, don't remember anything of that day except laughing hysterically at my mother when she walked into the living room and her saying "drugs are good, aren't they" and me just smiling and nodding.

The next week was a b*tch and my swelling didn't go down for about 2 weeks... my best advice is ICE like you've never iced before.

these threads always seem to turn into an epenis circle jerk.
Yeah... I know some of you are so manly that you could saw your own head off and laugh it off, but no one really gives a fvck.

Anyway, enjoy it OP. I need to have my top two out pretty soon here, I plan on sitting around getting tore up all day. :thumbsup:

I had two taken out and was REALLY wishing that the Vicodin had an affect on me.

They pulled out the bottom two and my bottom lip is still sorta numb. I hope they didnt damage a nerve since they said the nerve canal is right by the root. Guess only time will tell.

HAHAHA, man I just got my out too. I had all 4 of mine surgically removed Mar. 23rd. It was hell for me, the anastisia made me so sick I couldn't keep anything down that entire day, so that meant no medication :(. So now I have a bottle of Hydrocodone left over :). I went back last Friday to get the stitches removed but my mouth is still sore. Lots of fun....

i had 4 pulled the same day...was in work by 9am and had lunch (I was not supposed to work nor eat a regular lunch).

I didn't need any painkillers other than a couple OTC's. I had a couple complaints that if I didn't want to have my percocet filled I could have let them have it :).
