Great news! I look forward to reading your success story!

Super news! I am just short of 3 wks post-2-level cervical ADR and way happy! I also found that medical hypnotherapy before I left for Germany really helped me deal with the pre-surg anxiety I'd been having. We focused primarily on the surgery going well and post-op pain. I really think it helped alot. I wish you nothing but the best! If you visualize it, it is possible.

Thank you
 

Thank you to all that have replied, so far there is no anxiety but im sure there will be some the closer i get to the date

Not everyone approaches their surgery with anxiety. I was happy to get there and was looking forward to discovering what the rest of my life was going to be like. I was not anticipating such a great outcome, but I was ready to go and couldn't wait to get there.

When we get so many "denials" for our healthcare, it is more than refreshing and celebratory to hear a thumb's up approval for a procedure! So a big congrats! I had an ALIF and laminectomy last July, so feel free to ask me any questions or PM me. We're here for you.
