I have just had 2 vocal cord polyps removed from my throat. I felt nothing at all throughout the operation as I was under a general anaesthetic. When I woke up I had a very sore throat which lasted for a week, but it was bearable and I could still eat. It is now almost one week since the operation and the sore throat is almost gone. My voice is still absent, however, but that should return in another week or so.
