2. 4 level ADR 3. C5/C6; C6/C7 Prestige Disc; L4/L5; L5/S1 Maverick Disc 4. Surgery done at Stenum Hospital November 4th, 2006 What finally forced me to do it was my Board of Directors literally kicked me off of the property of where I work. They told me to get myself fixed and bring the old me back to the place. I was trying to wait for my lawsuit to settle so I could be guaranteed that it would be paid for. After it was done, not only did it get paid for by the lawsuit but, it also got completely covered by the insurance company. I was truly blessed and fortunate. My quality of life was horrible pre-surgery. I walked with a cane for almost a year. I was getting extremely limited in my capabilities. No Regrets! Terry Newton

For those of you who've had surgery; are you glad you did it or regret it?
I'm glad I did it. Which type? ADR, ProDisc, 2-level lumbar How long ago? 5 years and 2.5 months What finally convinced you to decide to do it? (optional). I was bed-ridden for close to a year (23 years old). My quality of life was horrible... I couldn't do "easy" things like tie my own shoes, go to the movies, be in one position (standing, sitting) for > 20 minutes, needed assistance showering, etc.
