Have any of you ever had them removed as an adult???

Owww! That can't be fun! We'll be thinking of you!

[HeatherJ]

Oh dear, hugs to you!

Hugs and Prayers for a Successful operation. I haven't had mine out. I agree with Icecream and jelly for a few days!

as an adult the typical recovery is 2 weeks..........

I don't personally know an adult who has had them out but I have "heard" that its harder for an adult to recover vs a child which is just a few days... Emily had hers out when she was 5 and she was good in 5 days

I have often wondered if this would have helped me with having so many sore throats. Best wishes to you.

I was 22. Out work about 1 week... throat sore for a couple of days.

adults do have a harder time...had a few friends at work had them out. just remember to stay on top of your pain (even if you think you "dont" feel too bad) and keep lots of popsicles and ice cream on hand!!
