If you are having them in the states, they are more than likely prodiscs. They have a good track record. As to getting back in 3 and a half months, maybe. Some do and some don't. It took me 6 months before I could go back to work and with no pain and no drugs. Also necks seem to do better and heal quicker than lower backs. Also, you could be getting the prestige discs. Just noticed it was your neck. Anyway, I don't know of any insurance company paying for anything other than a single level cervical disc. No one pays for 2 level and actually, a two level has'nt really been approved by the FDA except in cases where your doc thinks it is of utmost importance. But, if you have the money, they will do everydisc in your spine.
