I'm sorry that you are having to go through all of this. I know you were counting on getting your surgery finally. Is there any way to fight them legally if you have a surgeon that will do a combination ADR/fusion or if approprite refer you to a surgeon doing a clinical trial? I wouldn't let anyone push you into getting multi level fusion if you don't want it or going to a surgeon who your not comfortable with.
You mention that they want you to give up your lifetime medical benefits, does that mean they pay you a large enough sum of money to pay for ADR in Germany and then some left for follow up care?
I hope you can get all your concerns straightened out soon.
