Singing post liver transplant- will it be back to normal?

Welcome everyone- l wanted to ask about singing post liver transplant. I had a liver transplant about 3 months ago with skin closure only (which means my muscles are not sewn and I will have a second operation.) Could anyone tell me what are the prospects of singing after such transplant (both now and after the second surgery) ? Many thanks for your help!

I belong to a choir and I sang about 1 yr after as I had other problems in addition to the liver but it was a great exercise and very enjoyable. Sing when you feel ready x

That's brilliant. I bet singing gives you plenty of joy. So your voice went back to normal 100% ? :) I was paranoid that the diaphragm might get damaged and due to intubation I might develop something and I enjoy singing very much as well.

Was intubated for about 4 months following tx due to complications but unless choir are to polite to tell me I’m rubbish I think it’s just the same XX

I was intubated for quite a long time too. Thank you so much- you calmed me down Denise :)

Yes, I need to ask during my next visit. I was wondering more what are the experiences from the community, whether people have any problems. Looks like it's not an issue :) Thank you all x
