I've had up to five levels recommended by some very top surgeons in the world, but ended up having three done in March, one ADR at C5/6 and XLIF at L4/5 and ALIF at L5/S1. So far everything seems to be doing really well, and my pain levels are minimal.
I recommend having more opinions, as mentioned above. They can always do more levels, but cannot undo what has been done.

I do have 4-level cervical ADR and 2-level lumbar ADR. Contact me via the GPN website and I'll share what I know.... no charge.
