Hi all-
I'm having surgery to correct a deviated septum condition soon. I have followed the topic on the listserv in the past. Could anyone share their experience regarding how long they had to lay off of singing after having their septum repaired? I know ultimately it will depend on what my doctor says regarding how fast he thinks I am recovering (and I am using a surgeon who is known for working with singers-I think he will be cautious and protective of my voice). Nonetheless, I am interested in getting a general idea of what others have experienced post-surgery when they returned to singing. What was the time-frame and was there any pain upon resuming singing?
Thanks in advance,
Sandra
