Surgery tomorrow

My four hour surgery is tomorrow morning at ten.. Ten years of worry and hiding my smile will all be over tomorrow.. I still have to wait about a year for the retainer to do its work but the jagged mess on my teeth and in the back of my mouth will be gone.. I heard when you have bad teeth like this and and you get all out of your mouth that people can really tell a difference in their health.. They have said they feel healthier.. Have any of you recognized this...Does anyone have any last min advice.. I would probably be more nervous than I am right now but he has me on 500mg of penicillin four times a day and it is not making my stomach feel to well... Has anyone else had a problem w/ this.. The nurse is calling today w/ pre op and I am going to ask if I can drop it to three today.. The bad thing is I have to take it seven more days after the surgery.. I don't won't this feeling anymore.. It is like a starving feeling..Thanks for listening/reading.. Needed to talk about it I guess.. Wish me luck..

Re: Surgery tomorrow

Congrats on finally making it! You will be SO happy with your new smile I'm sure.

The Pen. can make your tummy a bit wierd - this is just one of the properties of drugs . It may help to eat something very bland with it if you are not already. Also, it will probably get better the longer you are on it. Often, the first couple days while youre on a new med and your body is adjusting to it you may feel sick. If it continues, ask if you maybe could get some antinausea meds (or just go get some motion sickeness medication) or maybe try a different antibiotic.

Lots of people do feel better after taking care of a troubled mouth. If you have an active infection, your body is always in its defensive mode trying to cure itself. This does make you feel bad sometimes - much the same reason you feel bad sometimes after getting a vaccination. Your body is in overdrive trying to create antibodies and fight the infection, so it stays run down. Without the infection and a good clean mouth, your body doesn't have to work this hard. It really does make a difference. Also, just the self confidence you will gain will be a big boost!

I hope everything goes very smoothly for you...

Re: Surgery tomorrow

You could ask for a shot of Penicillin instead... I heard that usually doesn't make your stomach hurt as bad. It has to go in your derriere, but if you're knocked out for the surgery, they could give it to you then!
