Tonsillectomy in my 50s advice please.

I have no experience of this procedure in middle age and do I understand why your AC are worried about it. All I can say is I had a tonsillectomy st the the age of 16, after repeats bouts of tonsillitis. Never even had a sore throat since! Tonsillitis is debilitating and repeated bouts are exhausting!! You are at risk of a severe throat bleed so I can understand your worry. There is always that concern with anyone having a tonsillectomy but are you at greater risk than others?
I wish you well in your decision and hope you are able to talk with a medical professional prior to your given operation date. My instincts tell me you will be amazed how much better you will feel if you go ahead!
Please keep us posted. 💐

I'm replying to keep this thread active for you. I'm afraid I can't give any advice as I had my tonsils removed when I was 7. I was off school repeatedly for a full half term with tonsillitis so they had to go. Only had the odd sore throat since.
