@bajjerfan thank you so very much for responding. Can I ask how long were you in the hospital after your surgery and were you able to go home or did they send you to rehab?

One day from the cervical and 2 from the lumbar IIRC. Had to wait until the drainage subsided.

My lumbar procedure.

Lumbar 1-Lumbar 5 Posterior Spinal Fusion with instrumentation and Lumbar 4-Lumbar 5 Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion

Cervical Procedure. I thought I recall that they used cadaver bone, but maybe that was for the lumbar because they didn't harvest from my upper pelvic area then.

PROCEDURE:
Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion at C3-4, C4-5, C5-6.
Insertion of Titanium graft interbodies at C3-4, C4-5, C5-6.
Foraminotomies, bilateral C3-C6.
Application and harvest of local bone graft and DBX material.
Anterior plating, C3-6
