Hi Everyone,
Everything sounds so amazing here and a lot of people seem to be having amazing results. Its nice to see how this surgery can change so much by making someone to happy, (referring to you lovelyjmi
![Smiley :)](https://www.susans.org/Smileys/susans/smiley.gif)
so see extremely overjoyed and love the continual updates + also look forward to your singing update).But I have a few questions that I'm worried about and I hope someone could help me out.
1) I speak at around 160hz normally on a casual basis, and as you can see from lovelyjmi, her pitch has increased significantly, but she had started at 137 so I guess it was a great change for her, but if I have the same results I could end up speaking at 308hz and that would sound a bit too high and as an average it would be a bit child like. But I had been told by Jessie that people who have the laryngeal shave experience a minor drop in pitch, and thus I was thinking even with the 74hz increase, the minor pitch drop wouldn't effect me too much. So does anyone here have an results on how much of a drop people could probably encounter after the surgery has taken place.
2) One of my main reasons to do this surgery is to be able to sing in a female range. I'm not a professional singer (not that good) but I do love to sing nevertheless. So for the people who have had the surgery and are well into recovery, I was wondering if you could post you pre/post-op results of vocal capabilities. So for example like fry/chest/head/falsetto (if so)/whistle (vocally)/belts(especially this one) etc. I remember reading Jenny's results and I was amazed, but more results can help to really make a decision.
3) Also another question for post-ops, how long did it take for you to start actually properly reusing your whole range and you did prior to surgery and (for those that understand musical stuff and piano notes) did your range increase sequentially? By this I mean, did your chest voice raise 3/4 of an octave and as did you head and other registers, or was it more like, chest voice increased by 3/4 of an octave and the head voice only 1/2 and octave and continually getting smaller increases as you go up. For this in notes I mean chest voice (highest changing from E4 to C5) and head voice going from (highest E5 to C6) or was it more like chest (E4 to C5) and then for head (E5 to A5). These figure are not exact but relative and I hope you understand what I mean.
I apologize if this was the wrong place to post these questions and sorry for being so long and extensive lol, I didn't really know how to explain everything simply and yea. But thank you for reading anyway and hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks everyone and good luck with the recovery and future surgery for those who haven't had it yet.
