Well dear...that's what brothers and sisters do...and,they are both being mean! Listen...this type of surgery is very common,and is done thousands of times daily.You will be fine! You will have the minor surgery...you'll go home,and be able to eat all the yummy ice cream that you can handle,jell-o,milk shakes and any other cold icy treat you want.Don't let your brother and sister scare you like that....you'll get your beautiful singing voice back as soon as you have healed from the surgery.And,NO you will NOT sound like a chicken either.Like I said...brothers and sister like to be mean when it comes to things like this.Right? So,relax dear....you'll be fine.Promise.And,make sure you have your mom get you all the cool icy treats that your little heart desires.And,don't let your brother and sister have any.
Take care and everything will be fine...



Its not a big deal. Ear nose and throat surgeons do this thing at least once a day. Why do you not want them taken out?

No, it will not affect your singing voice, you will sound horrible for the first month, but that is expected. You voice will change, but you will still sound like you, just a little higher pitched.

Basically, what they do during the surgery is remove the skin around the tonsil, then cut it off at the base, usually using a heated tool to cauterize the wound. This means a quick, simple surgery and quick recovery. If you have any other questions e mail me.



there being cruel for fun. youll be absolutely fine. your voice will only sound odd for a few days while it heals. youll sound normal again and nothing will go wrong. i know plenty of people who had them removed and there absolutely fine. dont be scared. everything will be ok. i promise.
