Good luck with the surgery.

I was given a 'script for gabapentin. I took it once and it didn't do anything. I looked at the side effects and decided it wasn't worth using.

I took that pill once. I used to pay money to get those side effects.

Alrighty....all done with surgery and been home for a few hours.

Surprisingly, I have no pain yet.....I do have a hoarse voice though.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

A week after and all the bandages have come off. I finally got to shave my face after 8-9 days
Looks like about a 3"-ish long cut along the skin fold on the left side of my neck. Have internal stitches also. Still numb around it.
I don't think there will be much of a visible scar. Still another week till my follow up appointment.

Not so nasty pic...

Seems like they must have come pretty close to the carotid artery.

If that cut scars, it will just give you more character You'll want to come up with some exciting story to explain it ..

Dude I had that same prescription. Took it once and decided it wasn't for me. Congrats on a good surgery. I'm assuming the hoarse voice is from the tube they shove down your throat. That's not fun. Had surgery last year on my face since I shattered my nose. None of it is fun.
