Default What to expect in Germany...

Hello to all...there are two of us who will be traveling to Germany for surgery with Dr. B on May 26th, and I thought I'd open this new thread to ask for anyone's advise on what we need to bring with us, and what we can expect in Germany that might be different in the States. Thank you.

MRI 4/2008 shows bulging disc with annular tear @ 4/L5 and and complete herniation at L5/S1.

9/11/08 Laminectomy , successful to a point...relieved nerve pain, but after 4 months was still having severe disc pain.

Treatments tried: epidural shots, oral pain killers, NSAID's, TENS massage, chiropractic care, deep tissue massage. Oh, and plenty of our homemade wine!

May 26 2009, 2 level ADR, L4-S1, Dr. Bertagnoli, Straubing, Germany
