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!

I'm so happy we've "turned" a doctor! My brother in law is a doctor and he drilled me pretty well about my decision. Hopefully my experience will lend him some assistance if he has a patient in need.

I'm so happy to hear your outcome is so far, so good!
