Can tonsils grow back?I'm 22 and had my tonsils removed in december 2008. I've heard people say that sometimes the tonsils grow back. Is this true?

It is possible for tonsils to partially grow back. In a procedure called a tonsillectomy, most of the tonsils are removed. However, if some tissue remains, tonsils can sometimes regenerate — although they probably won't grow back completely or to their original size.

Yes your tonsils could grow back, but not to their original size.

Yes they can, it's a 50/50 chance, but Not to the same size though, but the appendix can.
