Depends on the indication for the op.

If you've got tonsil cancer, then the op is probably justified.

If you're a five year old with a fussy mum, then it may be worthwhile adopting a "watchful waiting" strategy.

If you're somewhere in between, then it may be worth re-visiting your options with your GP brokering the deal

How old are you, and why are you scheduled for this procedure?
