I know I have the best dental pros on the job.
I am ready to take the plung but very nervous, the payoff is just to good. I have think about everything I eat and how to eat it. It is getting very old. I love food to much. And not to mention my appearance. I start a new job soon so this is life changing. I took a week off between jobs to have this done.

Gileb, good luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you!
UPDATED FROM Gileb
5 days pre
Surgery six days away
Saw my team yesterday 11/07/17 for the pre-op consultation and to get prescriptions. Antibiotic, Ativan, Motrin and
and a pain medicine of a little more serious nature just in case. I was also informed that they are going to
do the extractions and 6 titanium implants at the same time due to the amount of bone I have. A little bit of my nervousness is being replaced by excitement as this has been a long time coming. I also bought a cold mask to make application easier. Going to do some soft food shopping this weekend to prepare.
This is getting real.

Hello you two above who are having your implants done Nov 14. I am close behind as I'm having my teeth pulled (28) on Dec 5. I'm having full mouth all on four implants done in Las Vegas, where I live. I'm not going to Dr. Gulpa although I read about him on here. I'm going to Lasting Smiles Dental with Dr. Ghodsi.. He has a very good reputation, many years experience, and I like him a lot - him and the whole office. Except for the darkening due to age, my teeth do not look too bad. I have a lot of gum disease, however, and I'm losing bone. I have two loose molars on one side, an infection I'm just getting over, an dad I can only chew on one side of my mouth.
Like you, I am nervous and excited. I have to feel well by Dec 19 when I fly to Christmas with kids and grandkids. I'll have the teeth pulled, some bone grafts placed, and implants and temporary teeth placed on the fifth. Dr. Ghodsi places the permanent teeth at about four months, depending on healing of the bone.
I look forward to reading about your experiences, and will post my own.
Good luck next week!

Good luck to you, I am about 48 hours out and ready to get on with this.. I have all my meds, lots of ice packs and soft food and my wife at my side to start me through the journey she just went through herself. I'm try to occupy myself to keep my head straight. I know I have the best doctors on this and plenty of support, let's do this. I will keep you posted.

Good for you!! I think you’ll be glad you did this and the nervousness will fade. Anything you have to be nervous about is minimal. I have no doubt you’ll feel and look much better once it’s over
I am having the surgery on 11/14 also! I am so mixed with nervousness and excitement! Someone suggested picking up Arnica cream to help with the swelling and bruising so I will pass the suggestion off to you especially since you will be starting a new job. I picked up the cream and also the sublingual pellets of Arnica on Amazon. I am so excited to see your results! Just keep telling yourself it will be worth it!
I'm only getting the tops done all on 6 as I can get away with a partial on the bottom.
These guys use the best materials and craftsmanship, 21century dentistry. My wife just had the same thing done and they did a fantastic job, they really care and don't judge. I'm still nervous for the procedure on Tuesday, they are saying there is a good chance they can load all 6 implant on Tuesday after the extractions. Fingers crossed.
We can do this. It's hard to wrap my head around what is about to happen but the payoff is just to good. Good luck to you. I know everything will turn out great for the both of us..hopefully the can load the implants at the same time as the extractions and in 3 to 4 months I will be smiling big.
