[quote=Anonymous]From my understanding the risks of not treating even mild sleep apnea are far worse than the potential side effects of a tonsillectomy. You can read up on what untreated sleep apnea can do to the body. Both of my kids had tonsils and adenoids removed around age 4 and it was the best decision even though it was scary. My older child is now 11 and has put on some weight, but I am not convinced it has to do with the tonsillectomy. She is going through puberty where getting chubby is common, plus DH and I were both chubby at that age as well. She also eats a ton and doesn’t have the best diet, which we are working on. My 8 yo is still a string bean 4 years later.[/quote]
