Sorry you haven't gotten any reply, seems tonsillectomy is not as popular as it was long ago, back in the dark ages, 1950 or so.

I still have my tonsils as do my children and wife.. and almost everyone I know.  Still I do recall a classmate having his out at about the age of 10, and all I remember was he said he could eat only ice cream for a short period. I don't recall how long, but I guess no more than a day, two maximum.  When I heard this I though - "boy, sounds good to me".

I understand your caution/concern, but I am sure the operation is even simpler today, and it was no "big deal" back then.
