Yes, late last summer, all four. I chose to stay awake for the procedure, because I felt that it was important to watch it happen. It is quite freaky seeing what comes out of your mouth. Since you were being a baby about it, aside from your teeth, each of which is twice as big as normal teeth, some large pieces of flesh get removed. Did they show you tray post op? In mine there were there half inch long, 2mm wide strips of my gums. When I saw that, I was *sigh*, and the Doc was like "shhh", and I was like *SIGH*, and he laughed. Anyway, I was on gas and novacaine, and didn't feel a thing, it's just creepy to watch. I bled for the rest of the day 11am - 11pm and didn't eat or drink anything. He prescribed some Amoxocillon for infection, which I took, and some Hydrocoedine, which I sold. Selling the painkillers can usually cover the cost of the procedure, and I have no insurance, so it the best available option for me. I even whined about the pain to my doctor enough for him to prescribe a refill. If you're short on cash and can find a market, I'd say go for it. If not, just take the pills, and do it before the pain comes back, or you won't be able to swallow. My gums were ridiculously sore for the next two days, cause I was clenching my back gums on gauze for 12 hours. How ya holding up?
