    Hi Daniel,

    Welcome to the Spine Patient Society.

    Good luck with your XL TDR in 3 weeks! If you do a search, there are some SPS Members that have recently had the XL TDR device implanted. Also, the is functionality on the SPS Forum to create a group for XL TDR (there's already a group for the Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc).

    Click here to create a group on the SPS Forums: Groups at the Spine Patient Society Forums. The Groups feature is underutilized, so have at it!

    When you get a second, feel free to create a "signature," a few sentences about your spine issues --> New Members, Read First: How to Create a Signature (Your Spine History).

    Once again, welcome and we are excited to hear about your successful surgery in 3 short weeks!

    Hi Daniel,

    I was just popping in to see how your surgery went. I do hope things went smooth and that you are on the way to a full, complete recovery.
