Yes, I have consulted with Dr. B and Dr. Z.

Honestly, I was really ready about 4 months ago to set up a surgery date with Dr. B.

What held me back?:

a. I gambled that Prodisc would be approved by now for multi-level use. Looks like I lost that gamble.

b. Basically, I let my parents (mother) convince me that going to Germany wasn't a good decision to make, even though I felt differently, and it was my decision to make.

Hindsight is of course, 20/20.

I will gather more information next month in CT and see what my options are...

Hi David,
If you go to Germany, you will get the worlds most experienced surgeons doing your surgery -- - - that counts for a HUGE amount with this particular surgery success.
Best

Yeah, I know, I know

I was hoping that I could "substitute" CT for Germany, without having to wait much longer than I already have (again, wrong gamble).

Time to regroup and see what my options are....
