I just had mine done with a IV sedation, ur awake but you wont remember a thing as amnesia kicks in.... I had all four done at once, and its the way to go.. I was back to eating solid foods in 4 days... They give you pain med well through the IV, so u wont feel a thing!

Yup I had the same last year. Just the bottom two, my top ones were never there. I couldn't ever get that done without some type of sedation, because I have a bit of a fear/anxiety of getting any kind of surgery. I didn't remember a thing (amazing how that works, and a bit creepy lol), and I wasn't in any pain after. 2 days recovery and I was out of bed and could eats bits of solid food again, and I didn't even go through the whole bottle of pain meds.
