[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I'd had my tonsils out at a younger age - they caused me complete pain and misery for most of my childhood until I had them removed at age 25 when I finally had health coverage after college.  It was miserable surgery as an adult, I would have much preferred it as a child.

And it's common for this to be an issue.

So there's that.  I guess my parents are bad parents for having me have my wisdom teeth removed as well.  [/quote]

Well, I've never had a problem with my tonsils and I'm very glad my parents didn't remove them. And I had the two wisdom teeth that were problematic removed, have the other two and they've never given me any problems. Even the trend of removing healthy wisdom teeth is changing! And, the child is older when that happens and can participate in the decision. [/quote]

Same here. Still have my tonsils, and my wisdom teeth were taken out 20 years ago because the x-ray showed that they were growing in the wrong direction and would have ruined the alignment of my teeth. No way would I have wanted to have tonsils and wt removed prophylactically. Who does that? I don't believe either is recommended.

Of course it's always easy to say you wish something had been removed when it does turn out to cause you trouble. My mom had a critical situation with her appendix a few years ago, which could have been life-threatening - yet nobody suggests getting appendices removed on everybody. Hey, it's just a quick laparoscopy![/quote]
