So, I was just sitting here wondering about something. I know there have been a bunch of threads about this already, but they all seem to get locked up immediately, and I’ve still got this one nagging question. >I can see plenty of you guys on here who’ve already gone through the whole process, so I'm curious—how long does it actually take for the teeth to start falling out? And, like, how does that even happen naturally?

Honestly, you should just pick your doctor's brain. If you're seriously considering going through with this, make sure you ask every single question that crosses your mind before any procedure happens.
My brother actually went through it himself, though I can't quite recall exactly how many stitches he ended up needing.😢

Planning? What planning? It’s been seven days already! Seriously though, I’m just sitting here wondering how these teeth are even supposed to just... fall out on their own? Like, by magic? I gotta be honest, it totally creeps me out when a doctor gives you that "don't worry, it doesn't hurt" line. Usually, that's exactly when things go sideways and you're totally screwed.

Wait, so... nobody? Seriously? I’m actually super curious if anyone here is circumcised. Like, what’s the vibe now? Give me the real scoop, I wanna hear your thoughts!

I can't really speak from my own experience because they did that to me when I was just an infant, so I don't have any actual memories of it.
My son went through it too, and he was only about two months old at the time; everything seemed perfectly fine after a couple of days, and his pediatrician ended up removing the stitches after about a week.
Though, I guess in a lot of cases, they don't even bother with stitches at all, since the material usually just dissolves on its own after maybe fifteen days or so.

The sutures usually start coming loose after about ten days...
Don't sweat it...

So, today marks day 10. Honestly, things seem to be easing up a bit, though maybe I’m just tripping and it’s all in my head. Anyway, look, the actual surgery? It's just one big wave of nerves and discomfort, but the pain itself isn't even the worst part. Seriously, you mostly just die of pure terror beforehand, and then—poof—it's over. But man, the sleep situation is a total mess. Like, yeah, the procedure isn't terrifying, but once you finally get back home and try to actually move or sit up for the first time... ugh, blah blah blah. No major issues so far... just praying these surgical staples don't start falling out on me.
