harrison -
while i don't know your motives for not wanting to have a "travel" section.... i will say that i must confess that i thought the idea of "medical tourism" for anything but dental work was sort of crazy for quite a while, until it became my only option and it was something that i could do. then i did it and...
i'd do it again in a heartbeat... i think that for people who are in such situations would benefit GREATLY from such a forum. (there is another forum that has such info - i got some info there but the list-maker had gone to Germany - so i had to dig up info allll over the web and from friends/family about Spain/BCN).
the whole prodisc vs overseas alternatives is another topic altogether! but as i think you have seen w/ my experience and others' - there are many of us for whom int'l surgery is really the only option (need for hybrid or multilevel ADR, metal allergies, device concerns). a bit early for me to say, but i think it saved my life!
