I had all four pulled in 2000. I was a little nervous beforehand because I'd never had surgery or been sedated before. It was not a big deal at all. I don't remember a thing about the procedure and I was not loopy at all afterwards (unlike the girl who went in before me, and was still giggling in the recovery room when I checked out)... I wouldn't have minded a little more drugs! I did take painkillers but I don't remember the pain being that bad. I stayed home at my parents' for the weekend and my mom made me mashed potatoes and soup and other soft things (as mothers are so good at doing).
While you're healing, don't drink through a straw or smoke cigarettes. That can really f*ck it up. (I know this from a friend's experience... I was good and did what the doctor told me to.
)
