I hope both surgeries go really in fact I should say all three. With your determination and ability to persevere these traits will hold you in good stead for the journey ahead. You show great courage and strength and I will be there with you in spirit and maybe even physically if I can get there. I wish you all the joy of it [emoji847][emoji847]

Thank you for your best wishes, for your support and for your friendship.  It is so much easier and less intimidating when an intrepid friend has blazed a path and shared their experience.

I think your voice sounds fantastic and it will get even better with time as well.

Hi Rachael

Thank you so much it's weird....I just don't hear it. I saw my HRT Dr today and she was exclaiming out great I sound...which is fantastic but to me it just sounds like my voice.

My voice Dr said it would smooth out over the next few months and continue to improve over the next year.

It's interesting that with Lazer .... I'm assuming there would be no bleeding then

[LizK]

Hi @Drexy  I certainly didn't experience any bleeding and when I  saw the pics there was no evidence of it, as I would imagine the laser cauterises as it goes.

The recovery is different from The Yeason procedure in that you can talk sooner but similar enough to get the results. I was told part of the reason for not being able to speak for so long post surgery, is about trying to lose the muscle memory. I had to overcome my wanting to speak in the same way I always had and it wasn't until I relaxed and let my voice go to where it naturally did that I began to make progress with the way I sounded.

Take care

Liz

I had an interesting experience last night in camp, recently the camp shop has changed to self serve to alleviate the 30 deep queues of workers getting whatever ,
Anyway it was my turn at the machine ....and I messed it up so I was trying to get it working and I heard a voice to the  side of me say ...I think it's crashed...without looking I automatically replied ...no worries thx mate , the to my surprise as I moved away ...I glanced back ...and lo and behold the speaker was a fully transitioned woman ....the point I'm trying to make is that I had answered her as if I had heard a male speak ...and yet she was very feminine...about my height tastefully attired ... I'd never seen her before....and if it was not for a few things only a transitioning male who is attracted to woman can notice , I would never had noticed ....so voice absolutely Paramount from my point of view ..now ..hmm was a little envious but happy for her all the same ....she has had some good work done facially ...
