I’m having my vocal surgery this week. I’ve had this voice all my life and we think due to having a mild hemiplegia as of the result of heart surgery. only discovered when I asked my GP, for a referral to ENT as I used to be a cox for a rowing team and each time by the end of training my I would lose my voice from the uk. So really looking forward to seeing my voice
I had my vocal cord polyp surgery last Saturday (March 7).
Praying for speedy recovery.
Thank you for this video.
How is it now? Hopefully well. How long until full recovery?
You got this Thom! Love you and Coley! Prayers and good vibes continueing for a successful recovery! Love ya both!
Brought tears to my eyes, what a wonderful blessing! A HUGE difference before & after. Looking forward to a full recovery, & seeing you back out doing what you love! Best Wishes!
Daniel Loy
Thanks Daniel! Pretty scary thing to do but glad I did

We are glad you did too!!
You two are the cutest!! 🥰🐻🫂❤️👏

Awesome recovery!! 😎🙌🏼
Awesome prayers 🙏 for you Thom
Thank you! Im about to go on the same procedure. This put arise. 🥰
Recovery will give way to much creativity! ☮️🧡🍾
yes it did!
Have pretty severe nodes and am very scared for surgery. Thank you for sharing this it has given me hope for recovery!
Your journey encouraged me and gave me hope that it will all come out perfect. Yesterday I had my vocal cord worked on and I accidentally spoke. The sound of my voice 😘. I can't wait to complete the healing process.
Thanks for putting this video out.
I was diagnosed with left vocal cord paralysis, nodule on the fold. It's been almost 8 years since I've addressed the issue. Voice is getting worse now. Waiting for the referral from my doctor to see a laryngologist.
Thank you for sharing what so many people have to go through. I don't sing (my friends won't let me, I'm terrible) but I had same kind of nodule removal from my throat about 6 months ago. My main thought was : Why go through my nose? That's just mean 😁! So glad to hear you're doing well!
Seeing all those stars get voice adjustments or this surgery is really eye opening to see.
I was curious on getting this, but I’m looking it up. I think I like my voice.
But... I had no idea singers had this surgery and they are the artist I’ve listened to on the radio or on tv.
The voice at before is exactly what I have. I will soon get done my vocal surgery too.
You're awesome
0:56 4:34 (hoarse voice) it’s path high above and it’s two ends apparently beyond the horizon.
I had my surgery January 2020 for vocal nodules, my voice was really hoarse and Sometimes I could barely talk , I just started my singing lessons last week , but my voice sounds much better 🙏🏼praying for your recovery
Does it normally take almost a year after surgery to sing again??
@@baileyhanes8125 I started singing about 2 months after, just a half an hour at a time. It has been about 8 months and while my voice is WAY better, I still have to not drink too much alcohol or carbonated drinks or caffeine or it gets a little tired.
I just had my 6th surgery on my vocal cords. 2 in 4 weeks hopefully my voice will be back soon. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I undergo with a vocal cord nodule operation too last sept 8, 2020 Im praying for my full recovery too 😇🥶
Take care.... How much you spend on surgery?
How is your voice now? Is it fully recovered?
Hi! How are you? Can you update how is it your voice? Does it sound like before?
Is the surgey painless?
YanDev hi its free it’s under my health insurance thank God
Omg one of my vocal cords is paralyzed and the other one doesn’t work well but I think it will get better but it’s nice seeing people with kinda the same issues with me
Rapper D.O.C should do this. He was one of the biggest and promising rappers from the West Coast but tragically lost his voice in an accident.
Thank you
I’m going November 4 for my surgery I’m glad I saw this video because I was nervous I’m still a little bit nervous
It was not bad. I was very concerned too, thats why I waited so long to do it. Vanderbilt is the best place to go.
We were a whole bunch of Athols in Athol one time I saw you
Thank you for the update.
Glad to see you are doing well. Follow the doctors advice.
I bet not talking is driving you crazy. When you get to start again in earnest you are not gonna stop.
wow, im happy for you... Im too depress now i also lost my confidence.. coz of this issue.. my doctor told me to go for surgery the thyroplasty.. but im afraid... how are you now Sir? I hope to hear from you soon.. i wanted to get some ideas and positive thoughts.. im really desperate ....
Tough job! We love you, You got this... Sound like you already! PJ & Mark Chicago/KeyWest
Very encouraging!
I’m calling them right now. Just canceled three month of sold out shows after a year lock down. Scary AF. Hope I can get in and get it fixed and be back out there by the end of august.
it will take about 3 months to recover, and then you need to take it easy and not do longer shows. They are the only place I would trust with my vocal cords. You can really tell how much they fixed it in the before and after part of this video. Be sure to cut out alcohol as much as you can when singing, that is what wrecked mine and even after surgery it can make it get tired real quick. Drink LOTS of water and get enough rest too and don't talk for 2 or 3 hours after a show. I know it's tough to avoid the after party most of the time. Talking is worse on it than singing, especially in loud environments. Also fried food and dairy messes it up. good luck buddy! great to hear from you.
@@ThomShepherd Thanks Tom. Appreciate it. I’m going to have to get it done here in Denver. Vanderbilt won’t accept cash. You have to go through insurance and I don’t have any or have time to get it and then deal with it. I’m meeting with a vocal therapist and coach to see if we can get thought Sep-Dec and then get surgery if need be. My voice comes back almost a 💯 in a steam bath. I think I strained it singing through server allergies. Already canceled 4 months of pre-sold out shows after a year of shut downs. Brutal. If I have to cancel the rest of the year I am absolutely f’d. I appreciate you taking the time to get back with me. Hope all is well. It’s been a long time since I’ve see ya. God bless 🙏🤝
I had cyst surgery past 2 weeks. My voice is weak and little hoarse. Could you tell when I could talk properly without getting strained 🥺
I just had my vocal chord surgery this past Monday 3/1/21
It went quick but the hard part it my wife constantly making conversations with me:( I’m trying my best not to speak but for anyone who has a partner doing this surgery please help them by not making conversation with them
Can you please tell me about it and what hurts beforehand? I have to go see an ENT for hoarseness and for a weird cracking of my voice at high pitch so I'm pretty sure I have nodules. Does it hurt to get it checked? And is the surgery difficult?
@@seven471 the camera up the nose is not comfortable, but it doesn't really hurt. I have a really bad gag reflex so I could not do the stick camera through the mouth. Surgery was not bad, just felt a little sore that night, the next day it was slightly sore like I had been in a room full of smokers all night, but then it was okay
@@ThomShepherd thank you for your response. I ended up going and I didn't think the camera was that bad although I thought the numbing solution was difficult because I had a hard time swallowing. Turns out I do not have nodules but I do have some wear that needs babying.
Ahoj, 1.oktobra '21 mam operaciu hlasiviek, mám tam polyp alebo cystu, no operacie sa velmi bojim. Ako dlho trvá operácia?
Ako sa cítiš ked sa prebudiš z narkozy? Prosim odpoveď🙏 dakujem.
I just had my vocal cord surgery last week and my voice isn’t coming back in scared it won’t come back
Do u ever get voice back after having Laryngeal
surgery?
Can we change our vocal range by a surery? Please reply
I was born talking through my nose. Would they be able to help me change my voice?
I have something wrong with my vocal cords as well I go to the e.n.t on Wednesday
Do I have anything to worry about I am getting my vocal cords checked out I am nervous about it please keep me in your prayers
Is the surgey painful?
I have to have this Lazer surgery soon. Seeing the surgeon next week.
My results were pretty immediate - after the surgery, and then a week of no talking, when I spoke for the first time it was a huge difference, as you can see in the video. If you are a singer, you have to go easy on it for a few mohths after.
@@ThomShepherd czcams.com/video/ShsM3I0fDgM/video.html that's my video... I'm not a singer, but maybe after this operation I'll get some lessons.
@@boyced good luck! it's such a relief having a normal voice again
Thanks for sharing. I'm so happy for your voice. Quick question: my voice is normal but a little bit high pitched. Would you recommend speech therapy or surgery to deepen voice?
Non-surgical options should always come first.
I’m lost, what kind of surgery did he have?
3:35 Thom had to use a text-to-speech device for 7 days because he couldn’t speak after his vocal surgery.
today had vocal cord lesion surgery ///they remove it /waiting for the biopsy result in 7 days praying the result will come back negative surgery was OK but now home with overwhelming pain ..on hydrocodone
Boihopsy test ????
I have a little vocal fold cyst and doing my research on what to do next. I am a singer. Do you know how long does recovery take?
They said don't sing for 3 months, but at the 2 month mark, I played some very short shows with friends where I only did like 6 songs each show.
Can I ask how your vocal cords are doing now?
Sorry for the delayed response - everything is working great now! I do still have to take care of it.
Watching what I eat, not wearing it out. I try to only sing when standing so I have good breath support.
Can you go thru surgery to get a better less nasal singing voice?
I had sinus surgery, and it changed the tone of my voice a bit. Had a lot of impacted stuff in my nose. it takes about a week to recover from that surgery, you should get a CT scan of your sinus passages and see how they look.
Hii I had vocal nodule surgery last 12 days before yet i didn't get my old voice. now my voice sound is too low and also have hoarsness in my voice Is that normal or not and how long take to get my normal voice.tell me pls
Its been 17 days of my vocal polyp surgery, I've started speaking little bit,don't afraid your voice will be back, just do some vocal exercise recommend by your speech pathologist, my voice is better now, I wish for full recovery
@@MegaMrmayank biopsy report
@@davidrai8749 It was normal
What is the cost for vocal cord surgery
Sorry I don’t know but you can search it up in google it says the price
After vocal cord cyst surgery, How many days need full voice rest? and how many days after try to start talk?
I didn't speak at all for 10 days, doctors orders. Then 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes with each day after increasing until full day.
After vocal cord cyst surgery, 'steam inhalation' is it important to take after vocal cord cyst surgery? Have you take steam inhalation?
@@mdsohagmiah5684 no I haven't but drinking lots of water and being hydrated helps out a lot (steam=water)
that means you have taken lots of water after vocal cord cyst surgery, but you didn’t take steam inhalation?
@@mdsohagmiah5684 Haven't tried the steam but I bet it helps a lot
My sister had vocal cord removed yesterday due to cancer
Good luck ❣️

I’m the professional singer, I recognized that my voice became not so good on high notes and my falcet has been disappeared...😢😢😢 I can’t do my job 😢😢😢 it’s the vocal cords polyps there, I’m waiting my surgery... I’m scared... I have a good baritone and nice tremble of my voice. I’m 33... Singers, who made this surgery, please, give me a feedback about your feelings? Thank you so much and big hug from NYC!!!
You'll be amazed after your surgery - just be patient after and don't sing too soon. My voice feels great now. But I've noticed I still have to be careful and not drink too much caffeine, carbonated drinks, and alcohol or my voice gets a little tired. And I'm 52.
@@ThomShepherd thank you sir so so much!!! And I’m so sorry for my mistakes and my English, I’m russian. But God bless America!!!
So as per I can see this can basically turn someone into a better singer?
Well yes, with training and if you have a wrecked voice
I just had leison removed today. I am not impressed with how long it took to get into surgery. 8 god damn months to be exact. As far as I am concerning (me with common sense knows that they allowed this cancer to grow). I am infuriated at every single one of the medicine field staff from minute one - today. I am now going to sue because they now had destroyed my vocal cord in which il never be able to sing a tune again.
Damn that sucks - health care is a bitch. Take your time for recovery and hopefully you will get your voice back.
If someone wants you to get your vocal cords cut then you probably said something they didn't like or don't like you saying. You could end up like Joan Rivers.
