I had mine removed about 8 years ago even though I couldn't even tell they were there. A few days after, my parents took my brother and family to Ruth's Chris to celebrate his graduation, and I couldn't eat a steak...fml.
Anyway they put me under for the procedure and the only thing I remember from the time they put me to sleep until the time I regained awareness was a faint memory of me trying and failing to drink a glass of milk in bed. Apparently I was walking and talking after the procedure but I didn't remember any of it.
