Hi,
I'm considering getting my tonsils removed, but I am terrified of needles...and I mean REALLY terrified. Can anybody who has either had their removed or knows what is involved tell me if it is possible to get them removed without having to be on a drip and without having to get any needles before I am put to sleep?
I know the iv drip would probably be put in while I am asleep, but there is no way I would be able to have it in my hand while I am awake.
Thanks for your help
Grace.

Don't worry, you don't need to even be on a drip before or after! I had mine out and there are no needles involved! GOOD LUCK
