I sure hope your new voice turns out to be everything you hoped for. Having a feminine voice is very important for passing. I don't think I would be as brave as you in having that procedure done, at least not while there was a chance I could train my voice to be feminine. I'm holding my breath and am interested in hearing a comparison when everything heals up (6 months?).
Keep in mind you may still have to do voice training exercises because raising the pitch alone is not enough to get an authentic sounding female voice. Timbre, which is also important, is mainly determined by the size and geometry of the airway which you have no control over. You will need to move your voice resonance from your chest into your head. That takes months of training to become habitual. Sorry, you probably already know that, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
Good luck dear,
Clara
