I had mine, along with my adenoids, removed when I was 4. I did much better without them, but I had lots of problems before that. At the time, I believe it was a more common procedure for children than it is today. Do you have your tonsils?
Do you still have your tonsils?

My tonsils and adenoids were removed when I was 5.

No, mine were removed when I was 6 years old.

I've got all my body parts still intact and in working order including the tonsils!

I still have mine, I wish I didn't though. I've been told many times by different doctors that I have more tissue back there then the average person does.

Yes, I still have mine, the only thing I don't have is my appendix!

I had mine removed a few years ago and I have rarely been sick since having them removed. Before the surgery I was sick all the time.

Still have mine.

I had mine removed 3 years ago. It kind of sucked having it done so late in life, but I was getting sick all the time with variations of strep and respiratory infections. I've been sick maybe twice since I got them removed.

Yep i do.

Had my adenoids removed when I was about 10 (bad idea, almost died due to complications), but my tonsils are still with me. I strongly believe that there are no "extra" parts in a human body, so nothing should be removed unless it is completely necessary.

When I was a kid I was one more bout of strep throat away from getting them removed.

I still have mine.

Still have them, but I actually need to get them taken out. They are constantly getting infected.

I guess I still have mine, since I don't remember getting anything removed from my body, except wisdom teeth....
