How will a tonsillectomy affect my muscle mass?

I’m 20, been working out regularly about 3-5 times a week for more than half a year now. I’m going to have a tonsillectomy and I imagine that will sideline me from the gym for at least 3-4 weeks.

How will the layoff affect the muscle mass I’ve developed? It would suck if I had to start all over again.

  1. it takes 3 weeks for muscle mass to start going even then it doesnt realy go, when you go back to the gym you will be able to lift the same weights you ended at in 5days tops, you should be fine, i had my back broken for 2mouths i lost quite a bit of muscle mass but after 2 weeks i was back and running again. LOL NO YOU WILL NOT START OVER AGAIN JUST FOR 3 weeks if i was gone for 2m and barly lost anything

  2. Um not really.

    You aren’t receiving any sort of joint surgery.

    A tonsillectomy is now a outpatient procedure now.

    I don’t think you will need that long for recovery.
