Shane for Wax Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Though I guess it isn't technically surgery since I wasn't knocked out. They numbed my mouth up, removed some dead tissue, and then removed a...thing from my lip. They're biopsying it now. I hope it wasn't cancerous. No point for it to be as such, since I don't smoke or chew tobacco. But eh. So...yeah. Yuck. Now I have a test tomorrow and I'm not sure I can take it.
Unstream Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Ugh oral surgery sucks. I had to go through it twice, once to remove 4 molars so I'd have enough room for the rest of my teeth, and another time to get out my wisdom teeth.

Shane for Wax Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 The dead tissue was taken from the right side of my face. I already had my wisdom teeth taken out in December. And it apparently got infected somehow and the symptoms didn't start up until a couple of weeks ago v.v They say it's normal though. I think they wanted to hurt me more.
SkyTurtle Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 That's rough, rogcchick. And for what it's worth, I say that if it involves bits of you being cut away, it's flippin' surgery!!! Joking aside, I hope the biopsy comes back normal :)
Shane for Wax Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks, so do I. I can't imagine what it could come back as. I mean it hasn't grown since it first formed, and that was over a year ago. It would have by then wouldn't it? I'll keep ya updated. But don't worry, I'm okay for now. Just in a lot of pain. (I know most of you probably don't care since I'm just a stranger using pixels to express feelings and opinions though)

Shane for Wax Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 That is how my girlfriend started out as ^_^ hehe. Now she's my bestest best buddy too.
ΩCCΩ Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 boy, you are strong, I had two decayed teeth which the doc. filled. I think that is Oral theropy.
janalseiya Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 that's tough, I've only had surgery the one time. I had to get my last 3 molars out b/c my mouth is too small. They had already taken out my first one prior with NO pain killers b/c 1. I have a high pain tolerance (root canals without either) and I hate feeling numb. Good luck on the test! It's always stressful by itself not just adding the stress of the medical test you can't even study for.
Shane for Wax Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 I've had 62 surgeries now. Or is it 63? I lost count after number 60.
janalseiya Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 wow that's crazy!! All for the same reason?
AntiGravityAzn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Holy bageezus! I remember having my wisdom teeth removed and that was quite enough for me. The prescribed Vicodin was my best friend for a couple of days. I couldn't imagine going through that as many times as you, despite the lack of anesthetics.
Shane for Wax Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 the oral one I had was the only one without knocking me out. All of the others I was put out like a light. I got Percoset, a rich man's vicodin. lol And no, not all for the same reason.
janalseiya Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 wow, I didn't even take the vicodin they gave me. LOL I didn't need it.
amitybelle Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 60+?! That's a lot. Makes my count look lame :-P. I only count one to be honest, as the rest were hardly anything compared, in my experience at least. I don't think things such as having a lump in your neck removed compares to heart surgery. I have to get another this year so that my jaw doesn't lock up completely. Not a heart one, just a silly one. Isn't that nice. And my wisdom teeth removed but for some reason I just can't put teeth removal in the 'surgery' category. I've had teeth out before, I guess you're not really in a hospital so it feels different. Well they pull wisdom teeth out in hospitals here so I may think differently after... I hope your lip thing comes back clean! Do you find waiting the most annoying part? Have you got the results yet?
Shane for Wax Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 I was put out with anesthesia and had to go into the hospital OR for my wisdom teeth, it was out patient surgery, so it was a surgery. lol As for the results, no. Another few days and I will.
amitybelle Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Yeup I'm getting a general anaesthetic for the wisdom so it's a proper surgery unlike sitting in at the dentist with your mouth gaping open while you're still awake. I'm allergic to general anaesthetic so most surgeries I'm awake for, on a local, which isn't the greatest, but I can't stand the feel or sound of teeth coming out. I won't sit through that again. I don't really care how sick it makes me, it's a yucky experience when awake. Anything else is fine, just not mouth stuff.

Just ask someone to hit you over the head to knock you out. The only side effect would be a minor headache if done right.
*Danielle* Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 When i got my wisdom teeth out the only thing i remember is the nurse saying *uncross your legs* then they put the stuff in my iv and i was out like a light! lol I dont even really remember waking up i just remember being in a different room and then walking funny to my boyfriend's car lol .....has anybody else had their appendix removed? I've been having some weird pains where it was *mine busted so my scar is 3-4 inches long* and i was wondering if that was normal...I mean its been almost 5 years but it happens all the time.. any ideas? ............@amitybelle here they knock you out at the dentists office as well

celticheavens Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Ouch, that sounds real painful... Hope you're feeling better! Hope it's not too bad to the point of needing to take painkillers... The closest I had to an oral surgery was the typical teeth extraction (for braces for me). Didn't hurt actually, but it felt weird to have 2 gaps in my rows of teeth. -.- Not everyone needs to get their wisdom teeth extracted right? @_@ My friend's going for it soon and it sounds rather creepy... @_@ Such stuff make me feel icky...
linda Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Wow, well they didn't use any anaesthetic, so it might not be considered to be surgery ;). I got 4 of my front teeth taken out for braces...didn't hurt at all though. This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Ruto) because of a violation of the forum rules.
