Post operation - who to tell...
Hey - I've just had my toncils out and I have a recovery time of two weeks.
I hold a JAA Class 2 medical and I was wondering if I have to let the CAA know about my operation?
Thanks

Sounds strange to have to inform them of a toncil operation but I think you have to and they will advise on, if your taking any medication etc for it, whether you can fly or not.

According to my certificate, its not just an op under anaesthetic, its also any invasive procedure so that means if you have a local and end up being cut and stitched, the AME should be consulted then too.
The ice cream bit sounds good, yum.

cheers for the replies.
Im not intending on going flying because it just makes you feel really awful!
But, I wasnt sure if i was under any obligation to let them know of any operation that I have

Ian - I truly hope you op went better than Mrs R2's did last year, it has totally b@llocked her taste buds (by damaging a nerve in her throat) causing foods to taste bitter, sickly or "just plain horrible", this is a rare but apparently not unknown possibility & her chances of recovery are now virtually nil - even the NHS consultants have given up.
Wombat, only kids get ice cream, adults have to endure eating dry toast to stop any scabs forming
, it's a quite serious (& very painful) operation by all accounts & in the event, not one that I'd recommend to an adult but I am somewhat biased.

I think people tend to think tonsillectomy is the magical solution for their problems.
Whilst the majority of people make a speedy, uneventful recovery, it's worth bearing in mind that about 1 child a year dies as a result of this operation.
Worth bearing in mind when considering the surgical approach.
