Whos gotten surgery recently?need help quick

Ok I know this isn'tany major surgery or anything this friday though im getting my widsom teeth out I will be going under general anesthesia for this. For the past few months Ive been blowing roughly 100mg of oxycodone a day(I know this isnt smart and ive been in this spot before and got out of it using a few subs(which i currently have). The surgerys at 9:00am and I usually dont do anything before 3 anyway. My question is will the Opiate addiction and doing opiates before bed the night before adversely effect the anesthesia should i try to clean up a few days before using subs anyone with any information on this please respond also obviously the doc has no idea of my addiction.

 

Friday im haveing my wisdom teeth out under general Anesthesia for the past 2months I've been doing roughly 100mg of oc a day. My question is does the Opiate addiction and the fact ill prolly be on opiates the night before will that have negative effects on the general anesthesia. I know there's some people in this forum who have gotten surgery before and have had there own scripts these are the people I'm looking for advice for example what did your doc advise you to do as far the opiates went? because obvioulsy I cant tell my doc about my addiction. Also I have suboxen and have cleaned my self off opiates with it before should I try to do that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

ne 1?

 

Just tell your dentist that you take pain medication that was prescribed for an injury a short while back, and ask if it will it be okay if you take it the night before/day of surgery. He isn't going to MAKE sure you have a legitimate script, that isn't his job.

 

For your question about the general anaesthesia, the answer is yes, recent opiate use can alter the effects. However 100mg of Oxycontin should not be a big interference, though I wouldnt be willing to bet on that advice because this is your physical condition at stake here. If the anaesthesia doesnt render you totally unconscious, the doctor would likely be able to tell but if you remain sort of awake and are paralyzed for the duration of the surgery, well, let's just say that's probably what Hell is going to be like for all of us evil chemical users.
If I were you, Id tell the doctor, dont be a whimp about it just be honest, say that over the past 2 days you've taken 2 OC 40's or something like that to help with the pain from your wisdom teeth because you couldnt sleep. Are yours impacted? That should be a big help in lying about your condition and why you needed to take pills.
As for the pain after the surgery, some people complained about it and said it sucked, I wasnt bothered at all though. I got a script to Vicodin a week before my scheduled surgery because all 4 of mine were severly impacted and he had no earlier appointments available. I just told him "Look man my son's mom works at night, so I work all day and take care of my boy at night, and this pain is preventing me from sleeping as it is, is there anything you can give me to help me get through the week?" and he gave me 21 of the 5mg Vicodin (Yea I know, cheap, but free and better than nothing). So anyway I took all of them that night, and 4 days later which was a Saturday morning, I called another doctor office the dentist receptionist referred me to, and got another script for the same amount. But after the surgery, I told him I had no more, and he said that legally he couldnt not prescribe me anymore, that I should have had more than half left if I was following his instructions. So I went home with 4 holes in my mouth all stitched up, opiatless and broke as hell (no insurance), but honestly it really did not hurt at all. I was bleeding alot for the first few hours, took a nap, and went back to work the next day.
Definitley not a big deal, probably one of the smoothest surgeries a person can go through.
God Bless +

 

Please tell me you did a CWE on those 21 vicodin....if not, and you took all of those in one night, you are lucky to still be alive man. Even if they had the lowest possible amount of APAP that hydrocodone comes with (325 mg, it's usually 500 for vicodin though) that is still 6,825mg of Acetaminophen. Be careful guys, tylenol isn't as harmless as it seems. Accidental tylenol overdoses happen just as much as narcotic prescription overdoses...

 

See the thing is friday's my surgery and my mom is going to be with me so I cant start blabbin bout taking oc 40's shed kill me so I have no time to discuss this with the doc anyone else have expierence in this field?

 

Hm why don't you just stay awake for it? Thats what I did a couple days a go, it hurt like hell gettin all the novacaine it, but i ended up gettin 24 7.5 vics.

 

I would be honest about your tolerance if possible. Tell him you have chronic pain issues and have a high tolerance. However, he may not give you anything post-op. If you under GA, no amount tolerance will keep you awake, if that's what you're worried about. My doc gave about 50 percs and 2 demerol post-op for my wisdom teeth.

Guitar, I'm assuming it was your top wisdom teeth and not the bottom. That's an easier extraction. The bottom ones are rougher as they have to cut bone out of the jaw.

 

No it was actually my right side wisdom teeth, top and bottom, getting both sides out was 1400 with insurance. Thats also why I didnt go under, fuckin dentists make too much money. Only took 20 minutes too. The ones they took out were all fucked up too, one was infected.

 

i would be honest with him too, just tell him your tolerence is a bit high...I had surgery on a tooth while i was on a high dose of opites, i suffered so much, because i wasn't honest...Hope things go well

 

Honesty is best, especially in this situation.

Good luck!

 

He made two threads about the same thing. In the other thread, he said his mom or parents are coming with him, and they don't know about his usage, so he can't say anything to the doctor in front of them.

My suggestion is to call the dentist yourself, and make him aware of it and ask him these questions BEFORE you go, so that way you don't have to do it in front of your parents...why don't you just go without your parents actually? Either way, they shouldn't be in the back with you when you are getting work done, so you have chances to tell him without them around at some point. I would call though.

 

I don't think its a good idea to be honest here, you will be red flagged on your medical record for your entire life. Like i said, just get the novacaine instead, and don't go to sleep for it. it might be a little painful, but oh well nothing wrong with some pain here and there.

 

This is a dentist...and he isn't going to check to MAKE sure he really is prescribed it. I already told him what to do. Just say you were prescribed Oxy's for something in the past and you take them when you are in pain. He isn't going to check into it, he is a dentist, that isn't something he would worry about.

 

ok heres the deal

 

Fridays my surgery my mom is going with me. Before they give me the aneshesia if my mom is in the room i'l ask her to leave so i can discuss my marijuana use with the doc comfortably. U4ia I think you were on the right path one problem though im 19 so obviously would never be perscribed OC 40's for anything. Though I did have a broken elbow in the past where I was scripted Perc 5's. My plan is when my mom leaves the room(if shes there in the first place) im going to lie to the doc and tell him about my elbow incident and tell him I got perscribed Perc 10's(instead of 5's). Im going to continue to tell him over the past week or so since my tooth has been bothering me so much(which is true) ive been taking a few a night. After I tell him that im going to tell him I have a very high tolerance to drugs like "these" and the percs barely effected me. Maybe even i'll tell him that ive taken xanax in the past and that has no effect on me. Ill contine to tell him im nervous about not being completly out because of my tolerances and tell him to make sure I get enough anesthesia. Ok thats the plan guys any advice to change it or anything input what so ever would be very useful to me because im very nervous about this whole thing. Also idk if this is important or not I just found out I was goig under plan anesthesia as apposed to general anhestesia(this means no muscle paralyzers and ill be breathing on my own. Plzz respond with any adivice

ps i made two threads because after i made the first one it didnt immediatly show up so I thought it didnt work and created another one.

 

When I had all four of my bone impacted wisdom teeth out a few years back they gave me a script for 10 Vicodin 10MG with one refill which I thought was stupid since I had to pay $15 for each script filled. Oh well at least my insurance covered the surgery. I wouldn't suspect they notice anything the anaesthesia should still knock you out

 

Why didn't your insurance cover your script? Or was that your co-pay for them? Honestly vicodin are super cheap even without insurance...I don't even think 10 vicodin 10's would cost $15 without insurance....

Also, 10 pills? Were they month long scripts? How did he think 10 pills was going to last you? Usually when you get a pain script, you are prescribed 2, 3, or even a day for pain as needed...so that had to have been like a 3 day script.

 

Good luck, defintiely something I wouldn't do , too sketchy and complicated, but who knows it might work.
