just had this done and boy it hurts who else has had them out as an adult

 

I had it done when i was a kid,but i did hear as an adult it is extremly painful to have that surgery done.

 

no adults just complain more about it. lol, but I hear ya man, pain sucks, and hope ya get over it soon.

 

Yup, once as a child and again as an adult !!! If even a tiny tag of tonsil tissue was left behind, it will try to regenerate and cause problems. lucky me...
Yes, it hurts and you'll find you are going to be on an involuntary diet for a while. NOTHING hotter or colder than 98.6degF will be tolerated and EVERYTHING feels like dry toast going down for quite a while.
It'll get better to where you don't dread swallowing your own saliva after about a week or so .
Save the ice cream for later,... MUCH later....

I was 26 when I had mine out. Geez it was sore for nearly 2 weeks. Stopped getting sick all the time though, and no more sore throats.

 

Back in the day (1960) my two brothers and I had them out all at the same time. Back then they were routinely removed just because. Eat icecream.

 

I think the reason those of us that had them out as a child never minded the pain as we could have all the ice cream we wanted. I sure wouldn't want to have them taken out now. That and another operation that I won't go into.
