I really think you are not giving credit where it's due. At no time did Dr. Kim ever make it seem like I would immediately have a feminine voice without any additional work. He made it very clear that I would still have to train myself to actually use the higher frequency. He also made it clear what the recovery period is like, with the first 2 months being almost no change and then a gradual change from that point on up to the 6-month mark, and a full recovery after 1 year (so long as you follow all of the instructions, obviously). Yes, it seems some have faster results, but unless you've actually followed all of his post-op instructions, had no complications, and have waited the full year, I don't think it's fair to lay blame on Dr. Kim or the surgical technique as to why you are not hearing the results you're looking for. Also, sometimes there are unfortunate anomalies.
Kiwi, you explicitly said that you talked and/or whispered a lot after the surgery, especially within that first week, which is a big no-no. I don't find it surprising that your early recovery and results are not as quick to come as, say, Jenny's. Also, if you didn't want to wait a year before seeing the full results then why did you get the surgery to begin with knowing that that was going to be the case? All of the details Jenny and I have been describing are things that I'm sure Dr. Kim expressed to you as well, I don't see why he wouldn't have. And even if not, you had Jenny's descriptions to go off of, since you were aware of her recovery process well before you had your surgery, since you were posting in her thread the whole time. It sounds like you went in with the wrong expectations.
voodle, unfortunately for you I would have to say that the whole issue with the blood clot and coughing in the beginning may be the cause of your lack of results. With that type of complication so early on coupled with not seeing the results you're hoping, it makes sense. I can definitely understand why it would be hard to not be able to talk for a full 2 months, but if I had an issue like that after a surgery I would want to make sure I try to follow what the doctor says to make sure I do everything I can to get the best results. Did you actually stay quiet for 2 months? If not then I really don't know what to tell you, as you didn't follow the instructions given to you. Have you tried contacting Dr. Kim again to see what other options you have? Maybe there is something else he would recommend to help the recovery so you can see better results, or even a redo of the surgery...? Really, to me I think your recordings before were good, so we're kind of coming at this from two different angles.
I don't want to seem like I'm just blindly backing Yeson, but from what I've heard I don't see anything that skews the results and promises that Yeson describes. So far we can see that those who had no complications and followed the instructions are having good results and those that did have complications or didn't follow the instructions are having less-than-anticipated results. I say it that way since I myself don't think either voodle or Kiwi's voices sound bad. Yeah, they're not necessarily as high as Jenny or Abby's, but they definitely don't sound male to me.
