If they weren't completely removed it is possible for them to grow back. http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/can-...

My mother's tonsils we removed when she was four. When she was in her 40s, she had a sore throat bad enough to visit the doctor. He noted that her medical records contained an error, because her records said she'd had a tonsillectomy and he saw fully formed adult tonsils.

Neither knew how long it takes or how often it happens, but hers were not the first tonsils he'd seen which had grown back.

First time i have honestly heard about this. It could be possible.

I have a feeling it's because they weren't completely removed in the 1st place

Not going to happen!!! Some people have had two sets of tonsils though!
