I am seriously considering getting a tonsilectomy done. I am now 31 and when I was a child I got strep all the time, that stopped happening around the age of 23 but my tonsils are so large I think my breathing is being hindered....that and the boyfriend complains about my snoring. My daughter had her tonsils removed when she was 8. Her recovery went very well. I guess I am just wondering if anybody here had a tonsilectomy because it interferred with their breathing and if they have noticed any improvements? I am also a little afraid of being put under, I have never had surgery. Any advice would be very appreciated!
