my girlfriend had them out at age 31...5 years ago. They say the older, the harder but youll be ok. The first day is the best...guess you are still tired and worn from the surgery. Day 2 youll feel it more. Make sure you have plenty of soft foods made ahead of time..liquid protein drinks...mashed potatos...jello..pudding....ice pops will help too not only with numbing but inflamation. Stay away from acidic things like orange juice. That will burn. They will most likely give you liquid pain killer and medicines. It really is a very common thing and they do it with a lot more advanced technology now and laser them off instead of cutting like they did years ago. Take your meds and youll be good to go!
Good luck
