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.

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.
