Olds,
Several people on these boards had multiple levels done in the U.S. with the Mobi-C disc, which, as I understand, has some shock absorption. It is approved by the FDA for multiple levels. Getting insurance to cover all of them might not be so easy. However, they might cover one level and the other one you could pay for out of pocket. This would be less expensive than going overseas and eliminates most of the good points that JSS brought regarding that. You might want to check postings from members, Kelly4ADR or Coloradogirl, both of whom had multiple levels done with this device. They had their surgeries done in Seattle, and Denver, respectively.
Best of luck!!
Gene
