about 30 years ago. I was having terrible problems with inner ear infections. I would be so dizzy I couldn't stand up. I do remember I lost about 10 lbs and didn't talk for about 2 weeks after the surgery. My poor mom didn't thing I would ever talk again. It did solve the problem of the Inner ear problems. Don't forget to ask the adenoids. They are a tonsil-like gland that sit high up in the nasopharyl cavity and can be as much of a problem as the tonsils.

I agree that you should see an ENT. He can give you a better idea of if they should go or not. He can also go over all the pros and cons of the surgery.

Good luck!!
