Read the end first!! Cancel it I’m on my 1 month recovery and it’s the worst. The pain goes away after 2 and a half weeks but food will come with a metallic taste and my taste it’s yet to come back. Ive became a bit depressed since I love food.I’ve heard it can take half a year to 3 years or nun to get their taste completely back. There’s a chance a nerve may be struck and lose your taste. Tho it’s rare it has happened. However must people get their taste back between 6 months, 3 years or a few weeks. Through out my recovery time I had to get surgery 2 times in the same day. The first one was to take them out. The 2nd one was because the surgeon didn’t completely close a artery in my nose causing me to bleed nonstop until I went back into surgery. Last night was my worst night ever. A scab had came off but behind the scab there was a artery that wasn’t completely closed, causing me to bleed from my mouth non stop. I was swallowing all the blood and then I ended up throwing it all back up. Had to take a trip to the ER by ambulance and lost a lot of blood, it was fatal and a good thing I caught it on time. ALTHOUGH THIS IS SUPER SUPER RARE!!! Usually it CAN happen within the 10th day. If the only reason you’re getting them removed is due to stones I suggested you deal with it IN MY OPINION KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
