I getting mine out tomorrow and I am nervous about it. More of the pain of healing from it than the actual surgery itself. I am having this done at the age of 30 due to the fact that I get tonsil infections all the time. I kind excited to because after it is over I do not have to worry so much about catching a cold or getting sick because now every time I do I get sick I get swollen tonsils. So I kind of shy away from people as a result. I want it done I am just nervous.

Why does spying seemingly occur in some postoperative patients?

Do the tonsils ever grow back?

What percentage of the human population has received a tonsillectomy?

@scunnylass2007 if these suckers grow back, they'll be staying! will not do this shit again. so dreading it....

@Hydrasis i have no idea what kind it was although my recovery was not quick; i caught an infection which made my life hell and the recovery even longer

[scunnylass2007]

@youtakemeplaces i had them out when i was 15 i am now 22 and went to the doctors 3 months ago; it was there that she told me my tonsils were inflamed .. i never knew they grew back so it was a bit of a shock!

@scunnylass2007 What type of tonsilectomy was it? I read somewhere that theres a sort of spin off of the traditional removal where some of the tonsil is left behind in favor of a faster recovery but risks them growing back ( you being lymph things n all )

[youtakemeplaces]

@scunnylass2007-how long after the surgery was it before they grew back? my grandfather's grew back 3 times.
