I am still glad that I went ahead with it though since here in the states insurances will only approve one level. I got the level that has more movement with the prodisc and I have the fusion at C7-T1 which sees much less movement than upper levels so less risk of adjacent level degeneration.
Ok thanks alot for that info...
