Wow! My frenectomy wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The perio numbed my gums and I was fine the whole time until the last stitch. I felt my heart start to beat fast, and my skin was dripping with sweat, and I started getting extremely nauseous. I got sick as soon as he finished the last stitch and took his hands out of my mouth. I was on the verge of passing out. I had loud ringing in my ears, my eyes went dark, sweating... It was horrible. I felt better by the time I left, and my mom was there to drive me home. We had to pull over on the way, though. I started feeling the ringing, eyes went dark, sweating...I thought I was going to be sick, but I think I was just on the verge of passing out again. All evening I've not been able to keep food down. It's been horrible. He gave me a prescription for darvocet, so I'm not in any pain.
I can't figure out why I've been so sick, though. I didn't have any laughing gas - only novocain. I'm did have my mouth open for a long time and I know I swallowed a lot of blood, so I'm wondering if that could be why.
I was not expecting the Frenectomy to be this bad. It's such a simple procedure! At least it's over and I never have to have it done again!

I hope you're feeling better now

I know that it wasn't such a nice experience, but it's good to know that now you're a step closer to your D-day!
So keep positive, and remember that in just a few more weeks you won't have braces anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care

Well, folks, it looks like my braces journey has come to an end! A friend of mine works as the receptionist for my ortho, and I saw her last night and asked if she had any sooner appointments open. She called this morning and scheduled me for THURSDAY at 8:30AM!! I'm so excited! I will finally have beautiful teeth! The best part is I will be meeting my boyfriends mother for the first time next weekend! I was hoping I could meet her without the braces and now I can!! I could cry I'm so excited!! I will post pictures as soon after the debanding as I can!!!

Hey
Leslie, it's over now!!!
Soon you'll be having your braces off and you can forget u ever had them (don't forget about us and your retainer though
)!
You know what, a week ago I got an extraction and swallowed a lot of blood too, I was about to pass out the day after... Maybe there is something in our organism that ultimately doesn't allow us to drink blood
Oh well, congrats girl! I hope it all goes on D-day and can't wait to see your photos afterwards!
The busier you get in these last days the faster days will pass!
Best of luck
Joana
