How are you coming along with the silent treatment? What makes you think you might have had a stitch tear? ...any sisterly advice?
Congrats on 60 days! My voice is a huge insecurity for me, too. I'm just about to reach my 30 day mark. Honestly, it was easy being silent for a month, but I just recently broke my phone so it's suddenly 100x more difficult. Luckily, it's almost over.
Around 2 week in, I felt tension in my throat, and my mind was telling me that the tension may be caused by the stitches slowly breaking. I cough a lot from mucus build up, and spicy and acidic foods are a part of my daily diet. However, I won't know for certain unless I fly back to New York, or just wait for them to heal.
If I can offer some post-op advice: Don't be afraid. Or nervous. He's a doctor, who has performed this procedure so many times, and he gives us things to look out for, but his percentage of post-op failures is supposedly very low. Just do your best, but don't kill yourself over following his instructions.
Some sisterly advice: Learn at least one 'good' 'dance' move or style. Don't care what the scale says, just eat as healthy as possible. Blow more kisses to everyone, give more hugs to friends. Water is your best friend. It takes about 600 human adults to acquire 1.5kg of iron from their blood, meaning it is possible to 'forge a sword from the blood of your enemies'.
