Hello my name is Erika,
I am new to this site, just signed up yesterday. I have an upcoming surgery for full extractions of both upper and lower teeth along with two upper impacted wisdom teeth. After surgery, I will have immediate dentures put in place.

My question is, What can I do to prepare for this surgery. ie: foods that will be safe to eat? I am lactose intolerant so I am limited on certain liquids I can consume. I also want to know will there be any limitations for me immediately after surgery? ie: carrying things or household chores.

I am allergic to almost every major narcotic out there. I have been taking Oxycodone the past few months but I need to eat something before, during and after otherwise I become nauseated or start vomiting. I had gastric bypass surgery back in 2008 and my surgeon, at that time gave me Staydol (sp?) but when I suggested this during my pre-op visit with primary care physician he stated, he was not comfortable with me taking this because of all my medical issues and because I had a stroke back in November 2014 . He indicated that were some liquid form of pain medications but didn't suggest any to me just stated my oral surgeon would be responsible for managing my pain.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated and I thank you inadvance.

Best regards,

Erika
