Hi, I am new to this site, and my username is Suz22. I also have a trach and I'm on a permanent feeding tube. I also do bleed under my trach. My situation is very similiar to evamarie's. I can't eat, drink, and can only whisper. Can you please let me know of the new surgical technique? My medical team told me they can't remove my scar tissue or fix my epiglottis, which is fused to my throat wall. They said I need a larengectomy. But too afraid to do that, and don't want it. Feel depressed at times. Appreciate any responses. ThanK you, God bless, and big hugs!
