Symara,
I think one discectomy is enough. I don't know if there was a partial laminectomy(hemilaminectomy) that came with your discectomy but if there was, you probably have a lot of scar tissue that doesn't help matters and alo if they took too much of the lamina, their could be some stability problems. I'd skip the offer of another discectomy and go straight for the ADR if the disc is your only problem.
