Did your voice change during recovery?



Recommended Posts

If so, how long did it take to return to normal?

Mine's gotten breathy and weak to the point that it's a little hard to understand over the phone. It's improving slowly, and everything else is doing great a week out of surgery.

Interesting.

I didn't experience that specifically, but after half a dozen surgeries, and related endoscopies, and other procedures meant to resolve my lap-band fiasco, I found myself left with a raspy voice that was not there before. I am told it's a result of all of the various tubes and stuff shoved down my throat during all of these procedures. As a result, I will actually now have to undergo "voice therapy". How's THAT for a Lap-band side effect? :)

Hmm.. As long as I turn into Wolfman Jack and not Harvey Fierstein, I'm fine with that.

I don't have the stature or wardrobe to do Bea Arthur.
