It's common for people to lose weight after a tonsillectomy, but the amount of weight loss varies widely.
The weight loss is usually temporary and often due to the discomfort and difficulty swallowing that can occur after surgery.
People may find it hard to eat solid foods for a few days or weeks, leading to a reduced calorie intake.
Once they return to their normal diet, they typically regain the lost weight.
However, some individuals may experience a more sustained weight loss due to changes in their metabolism or appetite.
If you are concerned about significant weight loss after your tonsillectomy, talk to your doctor.
