At this point I'm just telling my story. I plan to contribute with my post op experience. I've found the experiences posted here very helpful.
I happen to work for a hospital / health system as an IT manager and have some extra resources that someone off the street may not have. For example because my office is near the sterile processing department I was able to speak to the Synthes rep about the NS I'm working with, his partners and the experience and training they received. I was also able to speak with some leaders in the surgery departments at the hospital about them. The Synthes rep told me that the NS I'm working with is very conservative about candidates for ADR. He also felt that most people just take the denial letter from the insurance companies and don't attempt to go through the appeal process.
Anyway I hope to tell of a positive post op experience to this community. I have yet to get a date for surgery but expect to very soon.
