Thanks for the heads up Mark. I have been told that by all of my surgeons so far....cervical first. I have no problems with that as long as I get my lumbar done the same week also. Dr. Bitan has confirmed that this is the way he will go too.
I'll post more on another thread...the results of my visit with him....after I finish what I hope is a good night's sleep after a long trip to NYC
