Will the tonsil stones will really desappear after surgery and will I be able to breathe properly?

I am thinkg of a surgery of tonsils because I usually got tonsillitis and stinky white balls (tonsil stones) in my throat and tonsils. So I am very nervous for that decision, I have asked several questions for my doctor and he says "you need a tonsillectomy and nasal cauterization because of your nasal turbinates and Tonsilloliths". I would like if someone there knows if after surgery my tonsil stones will really desappear and I will be able to breath normally. Sorry if I am so straightforward but I am very nervous because I have heard people after that surgery has suffered wording & nasal problems.

Usually it’s the adenoids that interfere with breathing, but occasionally the tonsils are so huge, they can too.
The tonsil stones and bad breath are indeed annoyances, but breathing difficulties trump other reasons for tonsillectomy.
Speech is temporarily affected, but disappears after a week or two. The exception is if you have a short palate, a condition your ENT should recognize.
I have no expertise on cauterization of the nasal turbinates.
If you are unsure what to do, you can always get a second opinion.
DO NOT WORRY. WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY IS ALWAYS RIGHT. I THINK YOU CAN BLINDLY GO IN FOR THIS SURGERY.
SURELY THE STONES WILL DISAPPEAR AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BREATHE NORMALLY.
ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
GOOD LUCK…………………….
