Brown,
It all depends. I know a lady in her early 60's that had a single level cervical done. Four months later she was back on her bike riding from Alabama to Ontario. Next she hiked thru France and then rode her bike from Vancouver to San Francisco. If all you have is a bad disc, you will probably do just fine. Also, I know a guy who had two level lumbar ADR. He was 35, a weight lifter, body builder and trainer. 10 months after his surgery, he was squatting over 300 pounds. I don;t know if I'd do that but he feels so good.
