Default Surgery scheduled

Had my pre-op appointments yesterday and my surgery is a go next Wednesday August 5. I'll be getting the Bryan disc. It's taken 2 years to get here but I'm hoping the Bryan disc will make the wait worth while.

Bryan disc finally FDA approved, and just in time too.
Neck was all jacked up and had to be fused unfortunately.

Good luck with your surgery Jason.
I hope you are restored to your previous pain-free life afterwards.
I know little about the cervical discs but the Bryan disc looks promising.

I had my surgery July 10 and am recovering now. I am usure which disc I had, but I am seeing my surgeon for a follow up on Monday, and I intend to ask. The surgery wasn't too bad I had pain in my shoulders afterward and coughing was torture but it only lasted a day or two. Now I am not bad at all, mostly stingy in my incision and a little prickly because of the nerve damage I had, that should clear itself up over the next few weeks/months. I feel more stength in my left arm now which is a good thing. Good luck on your surgery, I am sure you will do well.
