I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted at once when I was 19. The doctor messed up one of the anesthetic blocks, so one extraction hurt - but as soon as I yelled, he re-did the block, let it take effect, and then tried again. That was the worst of it. I was up and about and eating solid food the next day. I took nothing stronger than Advil for the pain.
Translation: I had a really good oral surgeon, my teeth weren't too far gone at the time of the surgery, and I was very lucky.
Follow your doctor's instructions to the letter. Lay in plenty of soft foods, and don't drink through a straw (I'm sure your doc told you that).
Good luck to you. I hope your surgery goes as smoothly as mine did.
