i have tonsil stones, does it need to be removed and does it prevent weight gaining?i heard that when you get your tonsils out, you gain weight. if you dont, you won't gain weight.
It's a chronic thing for me and I practically have to press below the tonsils every morning and night to remove these little nasty things. If I don't, I would have the sensation of wanting to cough all day long, and bad breath too of course. Tonsil removal seems to be the best option because it seems like my tonsils never feel normal and somewhat injured since I press them so often. My question is if tonsil removal when you're older (i'm 31) is more dangerous? I have heard of the surgery where they take all of the tonsils out except for the inner most lining of the tonsil so that it's not 100% ripped out. Has anyone else done this? I'm just so desperate to fix this problem.
& does it prevent weight gaining? i'm 15 and i weigh 81 lbs but i eat a lot.... or is it a fast metabolism?

Your tonsils have nothing to do with weight gain or loss. Your metabolism, ruled by various glands, is what is responsible for weight--of course, along with diet and lifestyle. If a person had chronic sore throats or infections that prevented her from eating, she might lose some weight as a result.
I was in my early 20's when I had my tonsils out and healed just fine. It probably took a lilttle longer and was maybe more painful than when a child has them removed, but I'm not sorry I had them out. Waaay fewer sore throats since then.
Good luck!
