I successfully used this book to prepare for the removal of major uterine fibroids. I was frightened at the prospect of my first ever surgery and I would not have come out of it so positively without the book and tape. My surgeon was amazed at my recovery and he only does this type of surgery. Try it for yourself, you have nothing to lose and peace of mind and body to gain.

Read the book, used the tape, had a great recovery!

Customer Rating:

This is an important book! Peggy Huddleston tells you how to use relaxation methods and visualization of your outcomes (for surgery and recovery - or chemotherapy) in a very straightforward, practical way. She also tells you how to approach your surgeon and anesthesiologist before surgery, what kinds of questions to ask them, and how to get them to help ensure a positive outcome/recovery by using healing statements during surgery and post-op. Most of the pieces of Peggy's method may seem familiar, but no one has put them in one place as such an easy to use guide. I used the book and tape prior to major surgery, got out of the hospital (my choice) in 1 day, and took no pain meds after 1 day at home because I felt so good. It worked for me.

An extremely helpful tool for entering surgery with optomism

Customer Rating:

This book helped me prepare to undergo major surgery with a sense of participation and control. If you're going to face surgery, the use of the accompanying audio tape is essential for maximim success, but just following the five steps of preparation listed in the book is a great help. I underwent serious abdominal surgery, had very little blood loss, used half the amount of pain meds usually prescribed, and went home in 72 hours. Every surgeon should know about this book, and every person undergoing surgery, who wishes to thrive, should take a look at this one.

You Need To Read This If You're Having Surgery	Customer Rating:
I really found this book to be an incredibly good resource. It has prepared me mentally for my surgery and I know I won't be as freaked out when the big day comes. Anything that can help reduce recovery time and the anxiety that comes with surgery is worth a try.

Outstanding book which helped me feel relaxed and prepared.	Customer Rating:
I read this book prior to surgery. It helped me relax about the surgery and recover more rapidly. My doctor commented several times on the fact that I did not request pain medication. I believe that was due to using this book. I highly recommend it for anyone facing surgery. It should be a part of the lending library of every physician.
