I had mine removed when i was like 6 years old because I was a sickly type kid. After that I pretty much stopped getting sick altogether.
I do remember being int he hospital for a day and then getting to come home.
The first few days were pretty bad - vomiting up blood and not really being able to eat/drink much of anything.
After that it wasn't so bad... i remember it was about 5 days before i could take on foods other than soup broth.
Just curious, why did you have them removed? Most recent medical science has shown that there is no 'true' medical benefit to having them removed. Also, i believe it was rather fairly common practice to do it in young children... not so much adults.
- my friend had them out because she had chronic strep throat. After that she hasn't been sick with it since.shellie

- Yeah, i'm just recapping what a doctor told me.. although I do say I rarely get sick these days.d_rek
- I went to a new family practitioner and he was like "oh, tonsels removed? This is always interesting."d_rek
- Told me the popular opinion on the procedure these days - that it's far less common than it used to be, is all.d_rek
- i believe you. :P im sure in some cases it can still be useful but not just removing on a whim.shellie
