I'm getting my tonsils and adenoids taken out and I don't know who to believe...?

I'm getting my tonsils and adenoids taken out tomarrow and the doc said it'll take about two weeks to recover. My friend's all say it takes about a week to recover (when I say recover I mean feel good enough to go to school) and my dad said he knows someone who just had it done and it took a month! Who do I believe?

I got mine out this summer. I am 28. The older you are the longer it takes.

I felt good enough to do a lot of things the day after, however, I was very emotional because of the drugs, so I wasn't fit to go anywhere.

After 4 days I went out for a full day with a friend.Then the next day, I crashed. I was exhausted and somewhat relapsed. It was about 2 weeks before I was back to full speed, but about a week before I felt good enough to do things more than 1 day in a row.

Milk it for all it is worth, baby!

Well obviously it will vary from person to person. It took one of my friends about a week and it took my other friend maybe a week and a half.

However, it took my cousin a couple days. She was in school really quickly.

well ali everyone is different and heal at different rates...so its probably somewhere in the middle...take advantage of it and eat all that ice cream and feel better soon!

Um i felt GREAT afterwards sooo much better than before. But i went back to school like in a week.

Well getting out Tonsils - Great,but the blood which goes into your stomach will cause a lot of problems,It's a so hard and strong motion,and you will bleed.Cause you cannot take food for two days.You can take some Fruit Juice ( Non carbonated), and if your surgeon has prescribed you a penicillin lozenge,which will sooth your throats.You will recover quickly in a three days time.You can be pretty well to attend the school.You will feel good the very next day after taking out tonsil.It's doesn't take a month time to recover it.But it will improve your health after removal of tonsils.Well enjoy the Ice cream and Natural fruit juice! Get well soon!

I had mine out as a little kid. If I remember correctly it didn't take long to recover. I know I was eating soft cheese tacos the night after surgery.

it differs from person to person.
