Hi Jerry,
Yes, I really have no plans on going over seas for surgery, I am going to try my darnedest to get it covered here.
My surgeon didn't sound to worried about the surgery not getting covered so it makes me wonder if they have their "ways" of getting the surgery approved. I will be ready for a fight, though, if I need to appeal.
How are you feeling by the way with your hybrid surgery, are you happy with it and doing well?

6 year struggle with herniated L4/5 w/ annular tear, ruptured L5/S1 that is now degenerated to where the bones rub, the lack of height is causing the facet joints to degenerate and cause pain at that level. Stenosis and radiculopathy to the left leg also present.
Now waiting to switch insurance so that I can get a hybrid surgery. Fusion of L5/S1 and ADR at L4/5.
