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!

Hi @suz22, I'd like to add my welcome too. It sounds like you are having a difficult time with the trach, scar tissue and bleeding. I'm tagging fellow members @karly @sepdvm @jeffk @phinken and @alpaca in the hopes that they may have experiences and tips to share with you.

Suz, have you considered getting a second opinion?
