when you have your them taken out does your voice sound different?

[paledreams]

@tehQurt my voice definitely sounded different at first but it's back to normal now. I don't know if you've watched any of my other videos but I can totally hear a difference to this video!

Do you sleep better? I'm debating to get mine removed.I have sleep apnea... I hear this procedure will help

[paledreams]

@Castulo432 I don't have sleep apnea and never did so I can't help with that!

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm having mine out on Friday and freeeaaaaking out. Hearing you describe it made it feel alot more do-able. Not stoked for the pain, but can't wait to have it over and done with. I'm a college student too and have been reading the horror stories too. Glad yours was more positive.

Thanks again girl!

@silversweet007 you're welcome! I was surprised how relatively easy my recovery was (although I was in a lot of pain).

To anyone about to have a tonsillectomy, don't psych yourself out. It's painful & it does suck, but it's nothing you can't handle. Drink at least a gallon of water a day & pop your pills regularly!

after surgery did you get to dress yourself out of the gown or did they help you?

[MsDreamGal123]

is it possible to lose your voice alot too during tonsillectomy?

[SuperPeaceup]

Its been four days since my operation.So far so good, ive read loads of places that im supposed to be in sooo much pain. But luckily im finding it managable. If you are getting this done..my best advice is stay on top of your meds(dont break the cycle)...and drink LOADS of water...goodluck people.xx

@blusoldier1234 I am told it is incredibly painful. My doc keeps saying, "i am warning you, don't be mad at me." I am gonna try and sleep through the whole recovery time.
