i hear they hurt like a b**** in the recovery process

I'm gonna have to go get them removed idk when though

I think I gotta get mines removed too. I think they’re giving me sleep apnea

I forgot to ask:
1. How old were you when you got the surgery

2. Did you get less infections/strep throat/etc after?

i was 24 when i got them out. i didnt get them out due to infections, i actually got them out because they were too large and gave me sleep apnea lol. but if u were wondering, yes my sleep has been much better since.

my friend who got hers out bc of constant infections says that it reduced the occurence of infections in her experience

do it bro, it was well worth it and my sleep has been great. much better than having to use a cpap and your future spouse would be much happier lol

How old are you? Tends to suck worse when you’re older compared to childhood years

My left one was swollen after eating some p****

When I got it around 4th grade, it took about two weeks to recover, with the last week being pretty mild in the symptoms.

Never got strep throat or any infections since the diet was a lot of cold s*** and popsicles and I always had a sweet tooth, lol.

I don’t remember how my sleep was during that time but I’m pretty sure I used to snore extremely loud before this. Afterwards and even Untill know I’m told I’m almost silent when I’m asleep ( ).

you get curious about touching the back of it even with your tongue but pls don’t.

I imagine you’d probably get hit with some pain meds but pls no Vicodin my brotha. Not worth it and I don’t feel like it should hurt that bad. Don’t try to speak up or yell during that time either

Not sure how old you are but it might be a phase. This used to happen to me a lot on a pretty consistent annual basis but it stopped when I turned 20.

No. This is deadass how I was

My tonsils been swollen the past 9 months straight lmao it's not a phase at this point

Oh yea avoid anything spicy cinnamon Sour or anything that affects the tongue in a certain way

But I must say it’s not that scary. And recovery time with the Rona around won’t feel that bad since everyone is being accustomed to staying at home.

Good luck fam

Prob might be hella d***ged out the first day tho lmao

No s*** you were in the 4th grade. This surgery is relatively minor for kids they bounce back easy from it. Only an incompetent doctor would tell an adult recovering from this to consume high fat dairy like ice cream

Got my surgery done today @thebootywarrior @Zeus

My throat in a little pain, about to be able to take medication in 30 mins (had to wait a few hours after surgery).

I'm craving regular food so bad Bought applesauce, yogurt, jello, ice cream, soup, eggs (scrambled eggs are ok apparently), mashed potatoes, baby food, etc.

I was told tonsils act like filters for infections when I was young and never got them removed

one of my friends did tho and we clowned him for his pitched voice after he got em removed

have a smooth recovery fam

Glad to hear it went well 🙏🏽 im hoping recovery goes well for you keep us updated😩🙏🏽

one of mine is bigger, so I have to clean it once in a while, but the other one is gucci. My doctor is s*** and didn't do anything but say take allergy medicine, and it didn't do s***.

Yeah I did when I was a kid. The only thing I remember was I woke up near the end of the procedure and vomited on the workers and I ate a bunch of ice cream after

Hope the recovery process goes smoothly fam and I feel that heavy lmao. Might suck for about two weeks

got them out when i was 6 and im pretty sure my quality of life improved a ton after surgery recovery, especially sleep and breathing in general

So it's about to be 5 days since the surgery, hopefully ATLEAST midway through recovery if not much further. @thebootywarrior @Zeus

Day of the surgery was fine, but then once you go home, sleep, wake up that s*** got worse I guess whatever they numb your throat with wears off.

I got this medicine that I guess helps. I'm kinda confused with it. I take it, I automatically get sleepy/dizzy, and it usually knocks me out. Also somehow stops me from focusing on my throat, but if I attempt to swallow or whatever it still hurts a s***ton.

The first few nights I was managing great, til right around day 2.5 I woke up in the middle of the night coughing. Then streams of blood start coming out my throat and I was shook af. I was literally coughing up tons of blood. They said there was a risk of bleeding afterwards, but said it was pretty small. So I was googling if I should go to the hospital but they said online bleeding after is actually pretty common. After 5-10 mins my mouth stopped leaking though and I went back to bed, and didn't have any other incident that day so I decided not panic about that.

Now it still hurts everytime I swallow, but I feel like it is slowly hurting less now. I've been sleeping and eating the same s***ty foods I'm so tired of it. I'm gonna have a big ass feast the day I'm good again.

I'm also drooling soooooo much when I sleep Also having a spit cup by my bed. This s*** is so disgusting. It feels so unsanitary.

Mostly I'm handling it well but I REALLY hope this s*** is over soon I miss real food so much. Idk why I didn't think the recovery would be this serious...

Got damn op we gon get thru this together. Hit up that HBO
