I had mine out (and adenoids) around 13-14.

Fun stuff, all the ice cream you can eat they say, yet even water was almost impossible to get down for 3-4 days. Got a nice addiction to codiene going that was ugly to kick after two weeks, try to stay away from the stuff to this day.

My sister on the other hand did just fine after a couple days, so it must depend on the person.

Long term, I feel like it was a detriment and I get sick easier, etc. after, so I'm not a huge fan of the idea myself. I feel like they are probably there for some reason, and maybe nobody has ever figured out the root cause of the swelling.

Mine were something like 6-8x normal size when removed, and had been so for quite a while, so it seemed the obvious thing to do.
