Tonsils and Adenoids Surgery 

For everyone going through issues with their tonsils, I wish you a speedy recovery, in Jesus Name, Amen❤❤❤ it’s the worse feeling everrr.

I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was three because I would suddenly stop breathing in my sleep. Best decision mom ever made 😔👍

I wanna get them removed cuz i keep getting tonsil stones

Thank you for showing this in a simplistic way without anything to gross/graphic.

Who else is watching this while they are in severe pain from tonsils

My son got his adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears 4 days ago. He is 2. First day home hours after his procedure he had so much energy. He sleeps a lot better still has a runny nose but he is sleeping through the night now and is so much more talkative 🥰 hopefully the runny nose goes away it has been a constant battle since he was 4 months 🤞🏽🙏🏽 great content ❤ Update-2/13/2023 surgery date was 1/25/2023 My son is doing amazing! Still has a slight runny nose but no green or yellow mucus which came from the reoccurring ear infections everything is clear and no drainage from ears. His appetite has even become better! He is enjoying way more foods and textures. His speech has improved and My son has passed his hearing test with the E.N.T Specialist 💃🏽🙌🏽. So excited for his little life! 🤗🥰

I just had my tonsils removed today. Thankful to God because he guided the doctors and the operation was successful.

I got my tonsils and adenoids removed YESTERDAY and I have to eat soft foods for 2 weeks and stay at home for 2 weeks also. It’s actually pretty cool and I don’t feel that much pain at all.

My daughter had this surgery when she was five. I'm so glad she got it done because she sleeps so good now

My son had he's tonsils and adenoids in his nose 👃 the surgeon said , my sons adenoids were the biggest he had ever seen...and my son recovered thankfully and gratefully 🙏 💖

I was about 6 and I remember my aunt taking me to the hospital and leaving me there. They took me to the operating room that night and I remember waking up with a sore throat. Didn't know my Tonsils and Adenoid were removed. My mom fetched me the following day. I was so angry at my aunt for leaving me there for them to hurt me like that. . But I am thankful today because I can see what people got through when their Tonsils get infected.

day 7 and i still can't eat easily but i can drink a lil .. and saliva n mucus are really annoying tho tbh

My baby just got hers done she's 3 and it's been a few restlessnights but it made a huge difference, she doesn't have blocked air or breathes hard anymore. Mamas out there make sure your babies gets their throat checked even at 3 because they're still at risk for sudden death syndrome because of not having oxygen in their sleep. That shit is scary. I'm so glad I did, it hurts so bad for her but it's saving her life and she will grow better.

My 4 year old had his tonsils shaved and adenoids removed yesterday so here I am showing him the procedure afterwards. He wanted to understand what was going on and this video was clear and perfect. I could not rest easy often checking on him since he would stopped breathing in his sleep. Last night was a good restful night for the two of us in a long time.

I had my tonsillectomy on July 15th 2020 due to recurrent strep throat and tonsilitis. It was very quick and not as painful as I thought it would have been. The first day was really tough as I bled quite often but I managed to move around pretty well though still feeling light due to GA. The severity of the pain was very well coped with adequate analgesics, in fact, I could already eat porridge by the second day and I was allowed to be discharged on that very day. Today is my third day, I am still finding it hard to speak normally as the surgical site is still swelling and feeling lightheadedness sometimes. I think the surgeon (ent specialist) did an excellent tonsillectomy and an investment that worth for my health.

I got mine removed when I was six because I would stop breathing in my sleep and I would snore super loudly, great choice mom! Love you!

Had both tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 4 (in the 80s when they cut and stitched instead of burn them off). They grew back. Adenoids were so large they covered the opening of my ears in the back of the throat. When I was 36 I had my Adenoids removed a 2nd time (along with tubes put in my ears) but left my tonsils. My ENT said he had never seen adenoids so large that you could see it just by my opening my mouth. Also was unusual for adult to need tubes.. Guess I am a medical weirdo... Oh also found out my father had his tonsils and adenoids grow back too..could have been genetic issue as well. My daughter had to have her tonsils and adenoids removed last year. She was so lethargic and not herself for almost 2 weeks. Good luck to anyone having this done, or parents of kids having this done.

What they forgot to mention is that adults can also get infected tonsils and adenoids too and need to get them removed as well.

My son had his tonsils and adenoids removed at 15, he had a very difficult, recovery, two months, we did everything right , and it was still tough, he should have stayed in the hospital, at least for three days, it isn't right that insurance companies force patients out so quickly, hope that anyone else , that has this surgery , recovers quickly ! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Took the doctors almost 2 hours to remove mine. They also did surgery inside of my nose (both nasal passages) and removed a cyst from my ear.

My brother had this done and as long as he took his pain medication on time he was fine. Make sure u take it on time or it hurts .

Who else got their tonsils removed when you were younger but now curious how it was done 😳😳

Awesome video !! Very informative straight to the point and not draggy !!! Everything a parent with a child with this condition needs to know and me personally eased my nerves about this upcoming procedure for my child.

Got mine removed!! Im on my third night and it is slowly getting better everyday!!

I got my tonsil surgery a year ago, if your watching this because your going to get one in a few weeks, let me tell you something, DON'T BE SCARED I actually want to get another surgery because of how good they took care of me 😭 no but yeah when they put you anastasia you won't even notice you went through surgery until you feel your tongue that has pressure, for me after the surgery I went to my room and I got to watch movies and got to eat meatloaf for the first time, they also give you soft foods like yogurt and popsicles.

I'm scared to get operated after seing this ..Life is unfair😢

Just had my tonsils removed, everything in this video is so true

guys please pray for me :(( my doctors said they want to remove my tonsils as soon as possible but i don't want to because I'm scared and I'm 18 yrs old. thank you godbless

I had my tonsils and adenoid removed when I was 5, it was on Halloween and I had to stay overnight, so the nurses would check in on the patients in costume it was so nice of them.

Had mine out at age 4. This was back in 1962 and I got to go home the same day which was unheard of back then. At age 4 was scared of staying in the hospital .

Same sleep apnea is the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. I would have dreams I was drowning under water and shit . I couldnt breath for like a minute at a time it was so scary sleeping everynight. Getting them removed was the best thing my mom ever did for me

I’m watching this because my friend who is deaf is getting her tonsils removed she was in the hospital Wednesday day and I’m pretty sure she got them removed yesterday (Thursday)

I have severe tonsil pains and they are bleeding I’m so ready to get them out today

My son have an hyperthropic tonsils, it is a big help to watch this page. Im going to the doctor for some consultation for his surgery, he is 8yrs. Old, im worry to him because it has difficuties of breathing

I had my tonsils removed when I was 5 and it helped me so much! But the pain was immaculate 😒

I just had my tonsils and uvula removed 2 days ago. Even though I am in some pain, I am already happy I had the procedure done.

i had my tonsils and adenoids removed at 9, i'm 16 and now i know how it was all done. best thing i had done as a child!

how would the doctor approve im from the uk and ive been suffering from pain and tonsillitis for 10+ years now since i was a child and ive had enough im in pain rn and want them removed any tips to stop the pain?

I had tonsillitis along with strep throat and an ear infection when I was 3 years old. I had surgery to get them taken out and also I had drainage tubes in my ears to drain the infection

This makes me fell better I might be getting mine removed so Thank you

A simple to understand video. Going in for mine removing as a cyst has appeared...yuk.

you seemed to calm me down with your explanation thank youu! (I'm getting both out in 2 weeks)

can i ask . whats the diff between nasopharyngeal and adenoids?? I have the same lump seen on the camera and im about to undergo biopsy . the doctor is yet to tell me about the result of the ct scan .

it hurts to watch them grab the tonsils like that omg

That was actually nice and very helpful!

My right tonsil has been swollen for 4 months now. And I’ve been getting massive stones in the left side. Not sure why it hasn’t went down😭 ive also had trouble breathing for the same amount of time, and the sore throat and ears for forever!

I had surgery of tonsils when i was 2-3 yr old really thankfull to that doctor now i am able to do anything but earlier my immunity power was very weak i had improved a lot

I feel like mine may Need to be removed, since they keep being infected and I feel like it’s happening for the 4th time.

Sweet, getting surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids. I just want to sleep again without waking up 100 times a night. Bring on the pain!!!

I had my tonsils removed between 5 and 6 yearss old. I used to get sick alot before removing. Now I rarely get sick after removing them

When I got mine removed I was around 7 and I started throwing up blood and had to stay for I think 3-4 nights

Had them removed before and had a month off and my neck hurt

im on day 7 , i never felt that i had pain or anything, maybe 3 times it was pain in ear but it was like 10 minute, it did not hurt like people say,

My right tonsil just started swelling after I’ve been coughing for the past 2 months. I’ve never had this happen before. I know my lymphatic system is important so I don’t want to get rid of it. But it’s low key 1:40 am and I’m not going to sleep because I don’t know if the swelling is going to stop or not. I’m 18, but it seems like it only affects those that are young or that’s how the video was made...

Thank you for your simple and good explanation

I got mine removed today I can’t speak and my tounge feels weird

I’m getting my tonsils out soon became i’ve had tonsils stones for years, they also said there was no curse for them to be gone so I’m fully determined on getting them removed regardless of the pain. My brother got his tonsils and adenoids removed as a baby because he was always so sick.

I'm 19 years old from the Philippines. i also have those stuck on my throat and the doctor said that mine was on the worst stage you could ever imagine, I wish I could get mine removed. I already told both of my parents and went to government hospital check up by myself. It just seemed that my parents lack the interest of mine getting removed. I kept getting sore throat twice every month. 🙁 And I also kept getting sleep paralysis. I hope and wish that this suffering will come to end soon.

I'm in pain as Im watching this. I need this procedure ASAP

I’ve tried getting my doctors to get mine removed because they’re soooooo big but they refuse and I’m in Colorado. I’m 19 and still have some difficulties breathing because of them. I’ve even landed in the ER from it

I had adenoids and tonsils removed when I was 31. It was such a relief

Thank you for making this video,making my nerves less bigger

I had mine removed when I was around 3 because my parents said I was weasing when I slept. Dr said they were huge. Glad I don't have them.

this was me 5 years ago. I got mine taken out when I was 6, now I'm 12. I had to get them taken out because I had strep throat 5 times in a year. And now after my surgery I've only had strep once in 6 years

Very helpful thank you 🙏🏻 very much mam

When I was 7 I had mine removed for not being able to sleep turns out my nose is just not placed correctly it’s kinda bent and I can’t get surgery till I grow

I've never had this done yet but, sooner or later I will have to do this

To anyone wondering if this is for them: DO IT! I only got rid of my adenoids, and my tonsils give me SO much pain. Please do both omg

I had my tonsils removed a few years ago the pain was there for about a week but I haven’t had strep throat since!!

I have some whiting on my tonsils (left side only) from previous 4 months it doesn't hurt neither i have some other symptoms but i m worried, initially it was hurting but only for few days.

Has any adults in there 30 have gotten them removed if so can yall tell me yall experience did it hurt what yall eat how long were yall in the hospital

yo they just grab the tonsil like I could’ve done it myself

Literally I wanna get tonsils removed they pain and because of pain and sore throat I am having fever since a few days

Thank You so much! Video was helpful

I’ve had many many surgeries in my life time, but this is by far the GREATEST and worst pain I have ever felt after a recovery. I’m just thankful my tonsils are out! Not thankful for the severe pain though. lol on day 3 and I just wanna cryyyyy.

My 6 year just got both his tonsils and adenoid removed yesterday due to his severe sleep apnea. He is doing good and hasn’t had to take the strong pain med that was subscribed. So far only Tylenol and Motrin are working just fine. He has only been drinking lots of water and eating yogurt and melted popsicles.

I dont remember a lot when they removed them bc I was like 5 years old

I feel like when i was little i got them removed but I don't remember anything just waking up and my throat hurting and feeling like there was a tube in my throat

I got mine removed when I was 7 and also got tubes in my ears along with it.

I’m sitting here with normally large tonsils looking at that normal tonsils like wait that’s what that’s supposed to look like?

Who else is watching out of curiosity while on the toilet 🙂

I'm 35 and getting this done tomorrow. Tonsils are about the size as the visuals shown in the video. I don't know about my adenoid though.

Having my two years old babys adenoid removed today as I am typing now she's undergoing surgery 🙏🙏 . In the Winter time She hardly sleep peacefully and uneasy to swallow. Hopefully She will be able to breathe better afterwards 🙏🌞💖 This video is helpful thanks

I had many changes after this tonsils my epiglottis is visible and i had acid reflux feeling like something is wrong with me anyone is experiencing this?,

I saw this vid so i can know what did they do when they remove my tonsils and adenoids about 1 year or 2 years ago this just came to my recommended

I just got this surgery done today and my throat hurts alot for sure, but anyone else getting it, you shouldnt be to worried, the worst part otehr then the pain after waking up in just the iv they give you :)

Had both surgeries when I was 7 because couldn't breath sometimes especially when I was sleeping I would go long periods without breathing.

I had to get them removed because I had sleep apnea or something like that

I had my adenoids removed a little while ago I was curious about the surgery

I had both them at the age of 10 the surgery hurt sooo bad that I couldn’t sleep eat or talk now I am doin well so if ask me it’s normal if it hurts but be careful don’t eat spicy dry or hot bolling food !! Stay safe

Had adnoides removed and it is not that bad just in case anyone is worring .so if your having them removed dont panic and also for me there was not that much pain after the operation

My mom tells me I had my tonsils removed but I thought it was just through giving injections Then just a while ago * cough * she told me it was through surgery -.- Then I started trying to remember When did I even have surgery?

I have small tonsils every year when monsoon comes.. Should I concern a surgeon?? Please reply

Getting this surgery in June, my tonsils have always been huge (3+) I'm getting both my tonsils and adenoids removed, so wish me luck

Had mine done at age of 5. I still remember 48 yrs later. It sucked u cant eat drink and ice cream hurts most. Spiting up blood for 2 days

how it felt (atleast for me) day 1: you feel hell, but it quickly becomes better hourly day 2: throat doesnt hurt that much, but body becomes sore and moving becomes a pain day 3: body became better but throat started to hurt ALOT, swallowing yogurt is fine, but water, soup, or any foodstuff or saliva hurts a lot, but as long as u dont do those, it doesnt hurt that much day 4: day 3 but somehow worse, cried trying to drink some chicken soup (because i am extremely dumb and ate hot food fast day 5: kinda better but still hell

I got mine out last week. I really have been wondering about recovery. I’m 22 and the recovery has been horrible. I have barely slept. Wake up in severe pain around the same time each night. When I swallow it tastes horrible and tastes like blood

I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was younger because I would snore so loud and have horrible sinus problems.....and I still get sinus infections when pollen season comes

Currently in the worst pain, I had an abses in:around my tonsil and he cut it to let it out and I’m home the day after and it’s terrible

I remember telling the doctor that I wasn’t going to fall asleep because I was holding my breath...💀💀
