Well it's my turn now. I go to Germany on Saturday for Surgery by Dr. Bertagnoli on Tuesday.
Two level L5/4 L5/S1 Activ-L implant. I have not posted in some time. I guess I went into an emotional cocoon while I made this decision. I do need to thank all those that have helped me over the last two years. Alastair, Mark, Jeffrey D, Gary, Dale S, Mariaa and many others who I have read about or talked to. I will do my best to return the favor to others after my surgery. I am also really looking forward to seeing Dale S and Mark when I get there. Thanks again everyone! Brad

Hi Brad,
well good luck with the surgery and I'm quietly confident that you'll come back and make a good recovery. Many thanks for your most generous in e-mail the other day. Everybody here will be thinking about you whilst you're across the pond in Germany very best wishes, Alastair

Germany is lovely this time of year. Too bad you'll probably not have the time to hit Oktoberfest, but you will have better results with Dr. B, than the the Hofbrau hause. Best luck, and be sure to post back when all is said and done.
