helped me

I used this cd for the month before surgery, day of surgery and recovery time. It helped me tremendously and I highly recommend it to anyone facing surgery or procedures of any kind. I think pre-op dept should be offering this cd to their patients.

Excellent Product to Help Reduce Anxiety and Worry Prior to Surgery

I was facing henia repair sugery. When facing proceedures like this, I tend to have a fair amount of anxiety - the "what if" kind. Dr. Rossman takes you through a deep relaxation technique, and then focuses on the positive benefits of surgery. He talks the skill of your surgical team, and about your body and its healing mechanisms.
I got this CD thee weeks before my surgery and played it almost every day.
I had a much more positive attitude and greatly reduced anxiety. The operation went well, and I only needed two pain pills afterwards. I can't say enough good things about this CD!

This CD really helped with my surgery

I got this CD a couple of weeks before my laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. I was very anxious and dreading the surgery. I started practicing with it twice a day, and my anxiety lessened considerably. I also felt better toward the doctors, hospital, etc. On the day of surgery I was able to be relaxed. I used it before and after surgery. The surgeon said my bleeding was very little. I was able to do fine without using any painkillers after the surgery. I was ok with using them if necessary, I just didn't need them. Every time the pain started, I'd listen to the tape and feel much better. The first day I listened to it a lot, then less the next day. I healed very quickly.

I had already done similar relaxation with my dentist, who was trained in it, so it was easy for me to pick up on.

I didn't expect it to help as much as it did. I'd definitely use this again if I needed surgery. Well worth the cost.
