Thank you so much for the info, slackwater. I left a mssg with the surgeon at 8 AM and called again at 4:30 PM. Have not heard from him. The girl that coordinates hiis surgeries cannot tell from the notes what the device was.
The staple are permamently in place in the upper and lower vertebrae to hold it in place.
I asked her if he was planning on calling me back and she said he'd been in surgery all day. This is beginnning to sound like some of the horror stories I have read.
Thanks again and I will post more info under post surgery thread.
