Preparing for Surgery

I recently learned I had bladder cancer, and had surgery scheduled in three weeks to remove the tumors. I was really struggling both with the cancer diagnosis and also dread over the procedure. I scoured the web looking for something that would improve my attitude toward the surgery, and sampled a number of audios like this. Now I have 30 years in radio and voice commercials for many of my clients, so I am extra-sensitive to vocal inflection and delivery. I found both Dr. Rossman's messages and delivery to be outstanding, and have listened extensively to all three versions of this program (pre-surgery, day of, and post). His voice was the last one I heard before going under sedation, telling me to imagine my surgical team at the top of their game. They apparently were. The only thing that would improve the audios is some ethereal trance-type music underneath, which I actually added myself. Kudos to Dr. Rossman!

I was never able to download this item, thus was never able to use it prior to my surgery.

I tried multiple times to download it per the instructions and the file would not download.

So I am out the money for this item.

Luckily my surgery went very well and I am on the path to recovery. I will not order another item from your website again

I was required to give this a rating of 1 star but would actually rate this a zero.

I bought this CD for my total knee replacement. unfortunately it didn't delivered what I expected. I found it boring to listen almost the same words in all sequences even if there are some slight variations of words. After 2 days I had enough and turned towards other audios.

The day after I decided to have double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, I went into shock. I knew it was the right decision, but emotionally, I wasn't ready. I found Dr. Rossman's "Preparing for Surgery" program online and it literally saved me. I listened to it twice a day for almost two weeks before the surgery as recommended, and it completely changed my attitude. I can't thank Dr. Rossman enough for this program.

I've used this for 2 surgeries and it was very helpful both times. It helped calm my anxiety before, and get through the recovery phase without too much discomfort. Ask if you can have it playing into headphones during the surgeries.
