Successful
I kept going, and found a surgeon about 4 hours from here proficient in the Mobi-C. He scheduled surgery immediately.
He said I was a good candidate for the surgery. I was worried I wouldn't be either.
Surgery was on 3/30. Was released the next day.
Thanks a bunch.

I think Jeff makes a good point about a local surgeon, for follow-up care, but also depending on the condition of your discs and vertebrae, you may not be a good candidate for ADR.
If you are having problems with bladder & bowl movement, this could indicate pressure on the spinal cord, and you will need attention soon. I am not sure about your location, but from the surgeons I contacted in the US I liked Dr. Lauryssen (Los Angeles) & Dr. Wohns (Seattle).
Wishing you the best,
