I had mine taken out when I was about 7. They put you to sleep, you wake up with a soar throat and they give you lots of cold drinks/ice-cream and stuff then you go home a day later. :D

Lmao don't be evil. It hurts but it isn't that bad :P

[OmgitsAmanda]

I had mine out in year 3. It's not bad actually, they just put you to sleep and you wake up with a really sore throat. But that goes away after two weeks =D And you have to take some medicine a few times a day.

[Mrs.Lampard]

i had it done when i was little too, all i can remember is Lots and lots of ice-cream :)

[HeartRates]

I didnt get Ice-Cream.. I dont think

I was like 5 haha.

And then waking up in theatre.
Then getting wheeled to my bed.

Let's hope you get good anesthetic. I woke up from my operation last week ago and all I could taste was anesthetic for ages. Plus I was sick all over Recovery.

[sarey]

how do you get put to sleep?
like do they put a needle in you?
(i HATE needles/ivs)

[stratosphere]

No, I got the mask thing, where they put a mask over your nose and mouth and you breathe in and out for about 10 seconds then you fall asleep.

[Abbie.]

how do you get put to sleep?

(i HATE needles/ivs)

we'll you'll prob get a drip? :S

i got a drip when i had my operation
and i was put to sleep with gas i think

[sarey]

a drip???
its only tonsils lol
i hate needles and yucky blah!

gas mask - thats fine, i think...
never been put to sleep beforeee, ive seen movies though lol

[jesus]

It probably hurts more than getting tonsilitus all the time, so think of it that way. :)

[sarey]

so... youre saying what then?

im just going by what the doc recommended lol.

You will get probably sleep there for 1 day.
Then the next, you will wake up and be informed of your operation, and asked not to drink or eat, so it will probably be quite early.
You will get wheeled off in your bed to a big room, where they will either give you a needle, then put a smiley face over it :D or gas you :rolleyes:.

You will wake up ear enough at the end.
In a big isolated room, which smells funny.
In no pain at all.

Then get wheeled back :D
Lots of Ice-Cream and water.

And you will probably be sick.

I remember stealing alot of things.
Little cotton things aint got a clue what they were.

But I had a suitcase with me, as my condition got worse.
And had to stay a few extra days.

No pain, I didnt even cry, and I was 5. (or younger)

[Fart]

I had an operation in my mouth (3rd set of teeth LMAO!)
they said it was gonna be like 45 minutes but it was hard to get to them so it was like 4 hours long, I had a needle with this white stuff in it and its SUPER funny when it goes up your arm when they inject because your so high on nerves and adrenaline from being nervous you dont feal the needle at all really! And i was on a drip and oxygen tube down into my lugs because it was in my mouth all the blood coming out i couldnt breath :P
WRECKED for like 1 month afterwards but it was worth it :D
goodluck with yours x

[sarey]

oh thisll be fun!!!

*sarcasm*
lol thanks for the help everyone.

[Abbie.]

a drip???

i was just guessing

[brandon]

Had mine out, couldn't sleep at all I was in real agony.

[jesus]

so... youre saying what then?

im just going by what the doc recommended lol.Well what would you prefer: getting tonsilitus loads and it being dead painful for weeks or having them removed and it being painful for a day? :)

[e5]

My mate had to take them out, all he did was eat toast for 2 weeks so his throat got used to the roughness ;)

[sarey]
