ProDisc Surgery for Anterior Cervical Disc

I have been approved for cervical disc surgery between my C-6 and C-7. I have never had spinal surgery before and am currently in a wheelchair since July of this year. Does anyone have any experience with this type of surgery?

I know two people who've had

I know two people who've had ADR. My Dr. loves the pro-disc, but I have 3 bad discs and my insurance and FDA haven't approved 3 level. I think if the surgeon has a lot of experience with the surgery you should be good. Good luck.
