How bad is after getting your Tonsils removed?

I have heard a lot of stories of people not being able to breathe and that there pain medicine wasnt strong enough. My doctor reassures me that results vary but i wanted a wider variety of opinions. So is getting your tonsils out when youre 20 that bad? And do they give you strong enough medicine so you wont be in pain?

I had mine out when I was around 13. It's not too bad. It's like having a sore throat for a couple of days. I didn't really need much pain medicine. It probably won't be really comfortable but certainly not something to be worried about. You'll be fine.
