alpengeistdude321 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 This is kind of random but I'm getting my tonsils out tommorow (August 1) and I'm not looking forward to the recovery and procedure. If anyone has gotten them out, how is the recovery? And how does the whole procedure work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollerholden Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I still have mine, but I need to get my wisdom teeth out in the future. I don't know how similar they are, if at all, but good luck! Dont you get lots of ice cream with that? I've had teeth pulled, and I was so nervous before...but try not to get all scared because once you get the gas, it's all good! But we'll be thinking of you!

tinkerbell Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've never had my tonsils out, but I've had lots of teeth pulled. So if those are alike at all, you don't feel a thing once you're asleep, and eat lots of ice cream and stuff like that after. Wisdom Teeth is a whole nother story. They on the other hand, HURT LIKE SHIZZZZZ Oh great..I have something to look forward to now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddymonster Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Don't be scurred, but just keep in mind that the healing period can be a total bitch. I had mine taken out with my uvula (and other things) in 2002 and I was miserable. BUT, everyone's different. Good luck tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure that if it wears off, that you let them know or you'll be miserable. If you are put totally under, then there shouldn't be an issue unless your "blessed" with a lovely dry socket.

It hurt like hell, it even hurt to breathe. I was even borderline having to get sent back into hospital because I was refusing to drink water,etc. Sure they say you can have all the freezees and popsicles you want, they just don't tell you that it will feel like swallowing sandpaper.

It's not the process of taking out wisdom teeth that hurt, its the heeling process thats a bitch. I was sore for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they hurt REALLY bad when recovering, your face swells up pretty big, but the best part is that when you are getting them pulled they give you this stuff that makes you act all goofy and high.

alpengeistdude321 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm back home, the surgery was quick itself (only twenty minutes) but I had to stay at the hospital for another two hours. My throat doesn't hurt too bad now, because I just took pain killers. So far, the healing process is not too bad, but it might get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
