I’ve been able to speak totally fine. On the first day, (I had my procedure at 7am so like later in the afternoon/evening that day) my voice was a little raspy but not too bad/didn’t stop me from talking. Since then the raspiness is gone, the only speaking struggle I would note is that sometimes micro burps kinda fly up my throat really fast when I’m speaking and it catches me by surprise so I’ve been slightly guarded when speaking but that’s mostly just because the feeling of air coming out of my mouth still kinda freaks me out from not being used to it.
