As for me discussing this with anyone before surgery, Well, I never joined any back boards until after the crappy 3 level ACDF. Wish I had joined and discussed, I would have seen Dr. Jho.

Hmmmm... I'm sorry, I thought that was you. See you're not alone!!! When I needed my revision he wanted to do the 2nd one from behind so he wouldn't have to fuse such a big area. I spoke very directly to him and told him I didn't want to play that game because I knew in another year I'd be back for surgery #3, eventually fusing what he was trying to avoid. He asked to think about it for 1 week, then when he called me back he agreed with me to do the fusion because it was inevitable that I would have to eventually go back under with that big of an area.
I hope you can find some answers.
What happened after the surgery? You mention that you might have had complications?
