what are your recommendation and preparation after my wisdom teeth are pulled out?
Does it hurt really bad?
How long does the "puffy" face return to its normal size?
Were you able to sleep well at night?
How many wisdom teeth did you pulled out from time to time?

Make sure that your doctor prescribes you pain relievers and antibiotics because the holes can get infected after they remove your teeth.
When I had mine taken out, I didn't have to take antibiotics, I don't think... =\ Maybe I did, there's a bottle of something upstairs, that might be it. I wasn't prescribed a painkiller though, he told me take large doses of Tylenol (4 = prescription strength).

how much blood should i expect?

should i do it over the weekend?
The amount of bleeding depends on how deep the dentist cuts and if he uses sutures to close the holes. I didn't have sutures; I had to keep gauze in my mouth for a while and not suck so that the blood could properly clot. Generally, though, it wasn't that much bleeding.

And this isn't just something you "do" over the weekend. It's a surgery, albeit a minor one.
