I am very surprised that this is being suggested as an outpatient procedure with a return back to work so quickly. Granted, you have one level and cervical is much easier than lumbar. This is still major surgery though. What do you do for a living that they are suggesting you will be able to go back in two weeks?
I have two Prestige discs in my cervical area. Less complications than lumbar for sure. Still major surgery that definitely takes time to heal from.
