Weight gain: Hello, I'm not sure if ur tonsil had anything to do with ur weight unless u had recurrent infection. Try to eat healthy, exercise regularly to build muscle. Good luck.

Not because of : having your tonsils out. However, if inflammation was causing you pain to the point where you avoided eating, then now maybe because the pain will be gone you'll start eating better/ more, so in a round and about way... YOU MIGHT!
