Cheryl, at the Alphaklinik, they routinely do ultrasound on patients at 2 days post-op.
Since I have a family history of arterial disease, I had an ultrasound done there a few months ago. It was a full body scan and Dr. Blome paid special attention to the arteries where they bifurcate to head down your legs. This is right at L4-5.
So, I personally have had abdominal ultrasound at my disc levels. Obviously, let them know about your discs... but don't raise any red flags if they don't.
I look forward to hearing that you got it fixed and are doing well. String bikini this summer?
