Thanks! I will definitely PM you if and when the time comes to appeal. It will be several months from now until that happens. I have to first switch insurance then go see the surgeon again. Until I know if I will need to appeal I will keep my fingers crossed and pray that it goes smoothly!

6 year struggle with herniated L4/5 w/ annular tear, ruptured L5/S1 that is now degenerated to where the bones rub, the lack of height is causing the facet joints to degenerate and cause pain at that level. Stenosis and radiculopathy to the left leg also present.
Now waiting to switch insurance so that I can get a hybrid surgery. Fusion of L5/S1 and ADR at L4/5.
