I had mine out in my late 20's. It really felt bad the first two days after and I was taking that liquid pain medicine all the time. Dont rush back to eating crunchy/hard foods too soon. Over a week after my surgery I was craving bacon. It felt like broken glass going down.

Who are you seeing JOAT? If Dr. Reiff sent you then it is probably the same guy I had a consultation with last year and is supposed to be the best around (forget his name). I was supposed to have the same surgery as well some bridges put in the back of my throat. Guy was up front and said it would be the worst few days of my life because of the pain and if I could find him, I would most likely try to kill him. 2 week recovery time. Said if I was a kid it would be no big deal but as adults it hurts like a mutha fugger. Guess the bridges inserted in the back of my throat would have something to do with that also though. Glad he was honest with me because I pussed out.

Good Luck...let me know how it turns out.

It was a referral from Dr. Reiff an I'm seeing Dr. Langford who's office I've been going to since I was about ten. Dr. Chikes, recently retired, did three ear surgeries on me in my teens.

What bothers me is this, I went to Dr. Langford about a year ago and asked about this same surgery and he said he didn't think it would make any sense or much of a difference. Now, because I was referred by a Dr all the sudden it makes sense? Nothing has happened in the last year, I seriously doubt my anatomy has changed since my last visit.

Anyway, I may have to double down on the Loritab for a few days. However, I'm really looking forward to the end result.

How old are you, JOAT? I know that once you're grown, tonsils are very vascular and very engorged in their little cavities. I've heard of doctors refusing to remove them for 25 year olds, even with PTA, because the procedure and recovery are so difficult.

Good luck to you and follow the orders on the prescription. Don't stop taking meds just because you feel better. Finish them per doc orders.
