This works, please take advantage of it. - By: , 25 May 1999
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 & I would not have come out of it so positively without the book & tape. My surgeon was amazed at my recovery & he only does this type of surgery. Try it for yourself, you have nothing to lose & peace of mind & body to gain.

Read the book, used the tape, had a great recovery! - By: , 31 Mar 1999
This is an important book! Peggy Huddleston tells you how to use relaxation methods & visualization of your outcomes (for surgery & recovery - or chemotherapy)in a very straightforward, practical way. She also tells you how to approach your surgeon & anesthesiologist before surgery, what kinds of questions to ask them, & how to get them to help ensure a positive outcome/recovery by using healing statements during surgery & post-op. Most of the pieces of Peggy's method may seem familiar, but no one has put themin one place as such an easy to use guide. I used the book & tape prior to major surgery, got out of the hospital (my choice)in 1 day, & 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 - By: , 26 Oct 1998
This book helped me prepare to undergo major surgery with a sense of participation & 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 listedin 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, & went homein 72 hours. Every surgeon should know about this book, & 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 - By: , 23 Jul 1998
I really found this book to be an incredibly good resource. It has prepared me mentally for my surgery & I know I won't be as freaked out when the big day comes. Anything that can help reduce recovery time & the anxiety that comes with surgery is worth a try.

Outstanding book which helped me feel relaxed and prepared. - By: , 01 Jun 1998
I read this book prior to surgery. It helped me relax about the surgery & 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.
