Annapurna,
Thanks for the reply. My surgeon stated that he has done multiple hybrids, although I don't remember if he said this particular combination. I see on this forum that the combination is usually reversed. I am concerned about the L5S1 issues you mentioned and this is making apprehensive.
Thanks,
