Preparing for Surgery
Forty-million Americans have surgery every year, sometimes with little time to prepare emotionally. Many feel anxious before surgery and the road to recovery is often painful and prolonged due to the anxiety. The older one is, the more likely one is to feel worried as well.
This need not be so, according to our guest Julie Bailit, who consults patients prior to surgery. By using relaxation, calming messages and visualization to reduce anxiety, patients use less pain medication and heal faster. Her workshops, "Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster," are available online and in person in the Boston area.
