I also decided to go for the LP-ESP for multiple reasons. I am now 4 1/2 months post op (one level ADR at L5/S1) with Dr. Biren Desai in Cologne, Germany and super-happy with my results I have a website, "LifeAfterADR.com" where I documented my surgery and recovery. Let me know if you have any questions.
