Well, just had mine out Aug. 20th. Doctors said between day 7-12 the scabs were supposed to start falling off. Day 10 for me large chunks started to loosen up and drop off, and though I have lost the main thick scabs. However, I am now at day 19 and still have a thin layer of white scab where my tonsils used to be, and also severe swelling on the left side of my throat, and swelling of the uvula which has restricted my breathing substantially for the past 3 weeks. Not fun at all, and I definitely wasn't prepared to have open wounds for a month - but guess there's no choice in the matter at this point. If I heal up normally and refrain from being perpetually ill for months on end the procedure will have been worth it. If I am to have long term breathing issues and uneven healing with no health benefit... NOT so much.
