Ask your surgeon - after all, once he gets his work done, it becomes
'his' neck, not yours (just like my hips are now my surgeon's hips
after he did the bilateral joint replacement surgeries)

well, i asked my surgeon..all he could say was it was "more than likely"
that i'll be my old self again..i was just wondering if anyone had the
same surgery and how they were once back in the gym..

C5-6 fusion. My neck is stronger now than it was before. No big issues.
And no more headaches making me want to slam my head into the gym walls.
And it does insure that I hold the bar in the proper position when doing
squats, up too high and it hurts. Other than that, de nada.
