Welcome To Lary’s Speakeasy

A laryngectomy is the surgical removal of the voice box. After the surgery, patients are unable to talk. While many regain the ability to “voice”, the condition is permanent. Lary’s Speakeasy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides supplies to the laryngectomee community, 100% free of charge. We also provide support, education and advocacy for the patients and Speech Pathologists. We are an all volunteer organization and all funds go directly in support of our mission. Our Facebook group is the largest group for laryngectomy patients in the world.

Our Team

Louis Trammell started Lary’s Speakeasy on Facebook for the members of his first live group meeting, which started at Rush University Medical Center on March 17, 2011 so that they would be able to access up-to-date information about their recoveries.

For the first few years, we only had 11 members, but as he joined the other Head & Neck FB groups he saw a huge need for more resources for throat cancer and laryngectomy folks.
​We were the only throat cancer group to store information that the members could access time and time again.

Speaking of Larys

"As an example of what Lary’s Speakeasy does, when I was having trouble with my prosthesis, I was prescribed a liquid that I had to use to keep the flange in the prosthesis free from getting stuck, This liquid had to be purchased at a pharmacy with a medical prescription, and the cost is $55 a pint, after my medical discounts. Trammell, through a special program, gets me the liquid at $4 a pint. It’s quite a difference in cost."

"Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help in acquiring an electrolarynx. I'm so grateful to have found you. I am a per diem SLP with a home care agency, so there is little to no money available for supplies and training from my organizing."
- C. R., SLP
