What's the surgery for? By the time you wake up after the surgery, you won't even remember going under.

Other than some minor soreness after the surgery, you have nothing to worry about. Seems like a pretty safe procedure. They will probably give you a script for vicodin.

millions of surgerys happen everyday and go completely ok. the media will only tell you things go wrong and that rarely happens. i think i woke up during a surgery but was so drugged up i had no idea what was happening and totally forgot about it until the doc told me that i woke up for like 5 sec. also another time i was being put to sleep my mom told me i asked the dr. how many times they have done the surgery and the doc was like well i do it 5 times a day and i have been doing it for 20 years. then my mom told me i was trying to do the math one min then was knocked out the next.

you'll be fine. the worst part is the waiting room cause you want it all to be over. once the get the iv in you and give you some stuff to relax you, you'll be enjoying it. they always give you this stuff to relax you and it makes you feel like you are sitting in a hot tub. you are all warm and fuzzy inside. last time i had surgery and they gave me that stuff i was hitting on all the nurses, its sweet.

np. i used to hate surgery but i look forward to that 5 min of pure bliss after they give you the stuff to relax and before they put you to sleep. you have nothing to worry about, the people that will be taking care of you have most likely been doing this for years.
they might give you nitrous oxide. i had a bad reaction to that so they don't do that for me anymore. if you like that stuff it will be a good time.
also dont think about all the machines in the operating room. try to place yourself outside of the room or else it can be overwhelming with all the machines and sounds.

When I wake up after going under, I'm totally fucked up and out of it. Those drugs hit me hard.
Glad to hear you're doing okay.
Have fun with those percs.

I remember after an oral surgery I had woken up and no one was in the room I started to get up and walk around. A nurse came in and told me to sit down and not move. I just kept getting up and I was chewing like hell on the gauze they'd put in my mouth.
In retrospect, that nurse was really pissed off at me.

You notice they never mention dental procedures in ST:NextGen series? By that time, it's so trivial, they give it the same attention as dusting the hallway or something.

Klingon dentistry must be one of the most despised jobs. I bet every patient has to have at least 8 teeth pulled per visit.

I can see it now:
"Here's a view of the normal human liver" (imagine healthy liver picture)
"Here's a view of the Klingon liver" (imagine larger liver that's mostly corroded)
"Any questions?"

Exactly why I wouldn't mind being tied up to the bed of a female klingon with a kickass body. 
I hope they use mouthwash.
