Hello @dancarpenter. I'd like to add my welcome along with @jenniferhunter who has responded already!

You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on cervical spinal fusion, that you can find here:
- Spinal fusion of C1-C6: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spinal-fusion-of-c1-c6/

Members such as @jojo58 @kdj @ken82 and @faithgirl30 have shared their experience and/or interest in exploring fusion and may be able to come in and share more with you.

Have you had any prior spinal procedures?

I have not had my surgery yet. I go to see another neurosurgeon on the 20th. I’ve seen 4 already and wasn’t comfortable with them. I thoroughly research any new dr I’m going to see. Where they went to school, how many procedures have they done, reviews everything before I go. I hope this one will be it. I’m running out of time to get it done by the end of the year. I would encourage everyone to do the same. Research your doctor thoroughly, and if you can talk to anybody else who’s been to them what their experience was. You’ll be better off. Find out all the information you can about your condition so you can better understand what they’re talking about when you see them. I’ll report back after I see him
