Rob,
I don't mean this to come across as rude, but why don't you just ring up one of the specialists and ask them?
My understand, when speaking to a rep from Mobi-C is that it was cost too. I am also under the impression that when Cervical ADR takes place, it is a much simpler procedure and the down time from life is a lot quicker than lumbar ADR. I think it's just a matter of time before it will be approved.
If YOU are willing to pay for it, then I think you will get it. If you are willing to pay for it, why don't you go the extra $2-3,000 and go to Germany and have the best operate on you. This is what I would be doing, if I go ahead at a later date. I wouldn't be covered by my health insurance because I was given a compensation payout from the MVA. So, I figure if I have to fork out $30,000 what's another couple of thousand for airfares and accomodation.
Their hygiene is second to none and they have the most experinced surgeons in the world.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Hucky
