Default ONZ Dr. Illerhaus

ONZ recommends TILF I am not sure if there is any type of additional spine support. Proposed devices either Signus Germany or SpineArt Switzerland, 7 days hospital stay with 8 days rehab. My local surgeon recommended 2 level fusion with pedicles and rods for support. I am torn between accepting ONZ proposal or pursuing BCBS Medicare Advantage, the US procedure is to send me home after 2 days in hospital and walk as much as possible, ONZ probably wants to be sure I am OK to travel away from their care so a much longer post op program. Any thought welcome. Money not really an issue, just want to stop deterioration. Thanks.
