How much weight do people loose when they have tonsils out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies.: At age 38, you will have severe pain, requiring a narcotic. You will not be able to eat as fast and as a result, each swallow will hurt and your intake of food will be limited. You must continue to drink such liquids as milkshakes and gator-aid. My guess is that you will lose about 10 pounds. But after 10-12 days you will put it back on.
