Default Upcoming surgery w/Dr Zeegers

It's been a while since I posted on this site. I wanted to let anyone interested know that I have a surgical appointment on April 16th with Dr Zeegers. The base plan is a 2 level adr L4-5 & L5-S1. Dr Zeegers has told me it's possible that he may have to do a hybrid in which L4-5 will be a fused. I'm hopeful that L4-5 will be qualified for the adr but if it is not then so be it. Even though I got 2 other opinions, I knew all along it would be Dr Zeegers. In my mind he is a one of a kind surgeon and person. I also want to give thanks to Mark Mintzer, whom I just recently reached out to for some advice. He's a class act for sure.
