Prepare
for Surgery, Heal Faster: A Guide of Mind-Body Techniques
Peggy Huddleston
Having surgery may or may not be a big deal for some people,
but for others it's a stressful time that is often accompanied by
pain and discomfort. Peggy Huddleston believes the way you recover
from an operation has to do with the way you prepare before hand.

Her book Prepare
for Surgery, Heal Faster shows readers how to prepare for an operation
in such a way that will reduce the amount of pain you're in and
speed up your recovery.
By combining a review of medical studies that examine the effects
of properly preparing for surgery with inspiring personal testimonials,
Prepare for Surgery helps readers achieve a sense of peacefulness
while teaching them questions they need to ask and techniques they
can use to relax.
Huddleston describes her own personal encounter with a hospital
operating room when she had to have a small growth removed from
her neck.
The book features a detailed look at Huddleston's 5 steps to prepare
for surgery that she herself has used and have been proven successful
by a number of doctors and surgical patients.
Step 1 - Relax to feel peaceful
Step 2 - Visualize your healing
Step 3 - Organize a support group
Step 4 - Use healing statements
Step 5 - Meet you anesthesiologist
Prepare for Surgery includes chapter summaries and a resource section
dealing with ways to control pain and side effects, vitamin recommendations,
and other healing therapies.
Having spent the past 18 years teaching self-healing workshops to
thousands, Huddleston graduated from Harvard Divinity School and
has a psychotherapy practice in Cambridge, MA.
By learning to relax, visualize your healing, and surround yourself
with love from friends and family, recovering from a minor or major
surgery can be a calming experience.
An important tool for anyone waiting for surgery.
