I have seen spectacular results here with Lumbar ADR done in Europe. Actually I think the answer is quite simple start consulting / research (euro) and DO IT. Unfortunately I don't believe I would be confident with any US doctors to do a 2-level ADR no matter what ANYBODY says. Good luck with the research / consults.......................

I'm doing what annapurna suggested, researching surgeons, complications other people have had, and if there any safeguards or technologies around the corner to help prevent the same from happening to me.
I'm quite certain I will have it done in Europe in a year or 2.
