I blacked out after getting my wisdoms removed.?!
Question: I got my top wisdoms removed, and moments after the surgery I blacked out. I got my bottom wisdoms removed about a year ago and I was fine. Could it be because I loss a lot of blood? I basically fasted the entire day before the surgery. I remember feeling light headed after I donated blood a couple years back. I'm also an underweight male, I eat a lot but I'm underweight. My dentists (not oral surgeon) said he pulled part of my brain out, and I got kinda freaked out when he said that. Btw, I wasn't fully blacked out, I was still able to see and hear a little, but couldn't move. Is this normal?

It's not abnormal. Your blood sugar was probably incredibly low, you were stressed and nervous, and no doubt the procedure didn't exactly put you in a relaxed frame of mind. Your blood pressure dropped, and you felt out of it. Your dentist must have been having one over on you, since he couldn't remove part of your brain along with wisdom teeth if he wanted to. I think he was kidding you to make you feel a bit better. When you do procedures on people, it's not all that unusual for them to feel pretty weird right afterwards. The procedure is traumatic for the body, after all pulling a tooth leaves a hole in the jawbone the size of the tooth. If you drilled that same size hole in a bone of your upper leg, don't you think you might feel weird? Don't get all bent about this. It happens sometimes. Your teeth are now gone, so there won't be a repeat of it anyway. Next time you are going to have something done, don't go in on an empty stomach unless they tell you too. You didn't need the teeth, but your body could have used the fuel.
People react differently after surgery even dental. The important thing is there were no lasting effects.
The fasting is propably what did it, not eating makes you light headed and blackouts are possible, i dont think it would be loss of blood unless your dentist was worried you shouldnt be
