I've now gained half an octave on my upper range after the surgery. Let's keep it going, little vocal cords!!
Jesus... that is one hell of an awesome result. And I'll admit, it makes me insanely jealous, because before my voice changed, in that pre-pubertal soprano singing voice that I loved so much, I could sing all the way up to C6. Now after years of emotional turmoil over my voice, training, training, and training some more, doing everything in my power to get my voice back up into the high range on its own, I've gotten my falsetto up to an F5, and I can hit the G5 if I push it. So... man... the prospect of gaining a half-octave, plus of the falsetto sounding natural again... I would basically have my pre-pubertal voice back. Half an octave on top of the F5 would put me all the way up to a C6 again, plus from what you're saying, it wouldn't sound like falsetto anymore.
I know you say that my voice is fine, Jenny, but God, this is seriously starting to sound too good to be true. I'd give almost anything to be able to sing soprano again. Does the falsetto seriously sound naturally female now, rather than the breathy fake cartoon-character Bee Gees type voice sound? Because if it really is possible to get my soprano singing voice back, and actually have it sound female, I seriously think that I'd take this voice surgery over even SRS. I don't even know if you can understand how much this possibly would mean to me... it would mean that it really is possible to reverse the single most traumatizing experience of my entire life.
So please tell me, Jenny, is this really all true? I'm seriously tearing up just thinking that it might even be possible, after 12 years of having to live with accepting that the single greatest joy of my entire life was gone, and that it was never coming back.
