Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm prone to throwing up after anesthetic. I told them this before hand and was told I would be given something to help control the nausea. However, I still ended up throwing up a good 8 times after I came out of recovery. It isnt as bad as you might think. You are just told to sit up in bed, lean o...

Thank you to everyone who responded. YOu all had great advice and I'm feeling a bit better knowing that everyone else has been through this or is currently going through this. I do find it odd that my surgeon didnt give me any mouth wash but I started using warm water and salt and that is helping so...

Hey everyone, Well my surgery was Thursday morning (Dec 7) and I was released from the hospital Friday morning. I'm staying with my parents for the first week because I live a lone otherwise. So far things are ok. I'm actually in more pain than I thought I would be in but I'm living with it. I do ha...

What about a multi vitamin?

Glad to hear you are feeling better and things are back to normal.

How did you feel going back to work?

Question for you, how often are you putting heat on your face and what are you using to do so?

I knew my surgery was two weeks away but now it's a week today. I'm freaking out a bit seeing as I only have this weekend to try and get things done (ie ...

Well my surgery date was just confirmed for Dec 11. Even though it is still 5 weeks away I'm freaking out a bit. I have a few questions and hopefully someone will be able to answer them. 1) For those of you who live alone did you find it hard to get around and make meals with no help? 2) I'm having ...

Thank you for the information TigerTigerWoods. I do feel a bit better knowing a head of time what is expected. A few of my coworkers want to take me out for a "last meal" the Friday before my surgery. I wasnt sure if I would be able to have a few drinks with them that night, but seems like...

TigerTigerWoods- I see that you have have your pre-op meeting and I was hoping you might be able to share what was discussed with me. My surgery is scheduled for December 11th and I interested to know how they prep you for surgery and I don't want to wait until my meeting. Do they ask you to refrain...
