So has anyone noticed that the tone of their voice is different since surgery? I also had a hiatal hernia repair but not sure that would have made a difference? It is weird, like an octave higher than it was.

I am in week 9 post op. I noticed it almost immediately but thought it would go back to normal. I just figured it was irritation from tubes/anesthesia etc. I have always had a pretty masculine sounding voice, get called SIR on the phone all the time. it is def more feminine and mellow.

Mine was croaky for a while
