Adult tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy

Hi, I'm 22/23 and have to get my tonsils and adenoids out in less than month. I've been dealing with issues where they're chronically enlarged and it's causing a host of issues. What scares me is that everyone is telling me that this surgery is going to be my worst surgery ever due to the pain. Is everyone just being dramatic or is this true? How was your experience your tonsils/adenoids yeeted?
