Running11,
It has been mentioned here before, have you looked to see if an AIMIS doctor is close to you? They perform surgeries in Cyprus and then follow up with you in the US. If another AIMIS doctor performs your surgery they have an agreement to follow up with one another. Dr. Pimenta from Brazil is a member of AIMISS and very well regarded.

I am having so a hard time with my husband. He wants me to get a fusion becuase he is afraid if we somehow come up with the money for ADR , i will have complications. We have been told by one of my spinal doctors that if i go oversees my insurance won't even pay for a painkiller for my neck. He said if we go with ADR oversees we might as well sell our house and that he would never let his wife go oversees for surgery! No wonder why my hubby is so against it. He's afraid its too much of a risk. I think ADR is the only solution.
My husband is encouraging me to get a bi-level fusion in June. Any thoughts ?You said you went through tthe same issues. How did you come to agreement?
