Especially a massive spinal fusion with rods and screws and everything haha. I just hope it can help improve my health, I'm tired of being bedridden and walking with a cane, though there are a ton of success stories. The current US womens rock climbing champion and Olympic athlete, Kyra Condie, has a spinal fusion for example. If my recovery is anywhere near as good as that I'll literally cry.
All depends how good the recovery is haha. I'll definitely give it a shot, I still have most of my gear somewhere. Also I have to wait 6 months after the surgery to try intense exercise, so you're going to have to wait a while lol
I know there are a number of reasons why some people can't, but if it's possible to do disc replacement, you should. Down time is a little longer, but cost is actually similar and you keep most of the flexibility instead of basically losing the joint.
I've got three herniated discs in my neck from a car accident last year, probably getting the surgery before too long. Big issue is whether the car insurance will pay for it, shithole country etc.

It's not to do with the discs but the actual shape of the spine. Think scoliosis/kyphosis surgery.
Dang, that sucks, but good you're getting it done. No better time than now to be laid up on mandatory rest
