Did you lose your voice immediately or just recently?  I also lost my voice for 6 weeks after TT because my vocal cord was paralyzed.  It came back without any intervention.  Your doctor  (ENT) can do an examination to see if the vocal cord is moving. My ENT took a wait and see approach, and it worked itself out.  Good luck

Like Trish, I also lost my voice due to the vocal cords being paralyzed.  I also had trouble swallowing liquids, breathing, and being able to talk without losing my breath.  My ENT told me that it can take up to a year for the nerves to repair themselves.  Luckily, after about a month I saw improvement and it continued to get better.  I just had my last appointment last month, which was 8 months post TT, and one of my vocal cords is 100% moving, the other about 80%.  

That being said, if you haven't already done it, I would schedule an appointment with a doctor that can look at your vocal cords and see what's going on.  Good luck!
