Stina,
You say your parents are tapping your college savings for surgery here with the ProDisc? The surgery is by far cheaper if you are paying out of pocket to go to Europe. Plus they have better devices and more experienced doctors.
You should look into the European docs before you spend that kind of money here.
How much is your surgery here?
