Upcoming L5 disc replacement with Dr Zeegers

[henry4956]

Karger, You have every reason to be confident that you will have a good outcome.
1) You are only having 1 level done
2) You are relatively young and healthy
3) ActivL is IMO the best lumbar artificial disc
4) Dr Zeegers is a incredibly meticulous surgeon

Who are you going with? My wife can give you lots of info on places to shop,eat etc.

I am 7 weeks post-op (2-level) and doing very well

HI Henry,

Thanks for the positive feed back My brother is going to come and be my buddy for the two weeks I am there. If you could give me the info on the places to shop and eat that would be very awesome!

Also, is there anything special I need to know about German Hospitals? E.g bring my own toilet paper etc?

Thanks in advance.

Good luck. Germany is a great place. Everyone I met there were really nice and spoke good English too. Also pretty cheap for food and drinks (depending on the exchange rate).

So i couldn't afford the most expensive hotels etc. I ended up choosing Hotel Garten. About a 10 min drive from the Beta-Klinik. Anyone ever stay there?
