Does the vocal surgery increase the high end of your range to like a female range? or does it just raise your comfortable speaking pitch? I'm wondering what kind of limits I would have in terms of singing if I were to get this kind of surgery.

@Kojitsu Good question, the surgery is designed to remove the bottom end of your vocal range. It should not increase your high end but make it easier to stay in the female range. When it comes to singing, I have no idea but I would have thought that some good couching would not go a miss. I hope that helps :) x

I had this done yesterday.i'm finding it really hard to swallow.I didn't take any painkillers.I got sent home today with antibiotics.I hope it's going to get better.

@RACHELTAYLOR7 Hi Rachel, I hope that you are doing well and that the recovery is going well. No painkillers? wow, your hard core :) Best advice I can give is to not speak, even if you think it won't hurt to speak a little. Please do let me know how you get on xXx

@misskatierose I feel a lot better now.It's much easier to swallow now.I'm really pleased with the result.I had years of speech therapy with Christella Antoni and Mathew Mills and although my voice was okay i had a lot of problems on the phone which used to get me down.Have to go back on the 25th to get my voice checked by Mathew.
