I'll be Harrison for a minute and suggest you put together a signature of your history - what level(s) are involved, what you've had in the past, etc.
Why would the NG discharge you for a fusion, but not a disc replacement? If that is indeed the case, and your career is at stake... and your insurance absolutely will not cover ADR... I would highly advise you consider going overseas. The usual suspects mentioned with regularity here are Drs Boeree, Clavel, and Pimenta in the UK, Spain, and Brazil, respectively.
Some of us may be able to chime in with more useful info if you can post more specifics.
Welcome, but sorry you're here... though many of us have found significant help from this and other forums!!
