Hi! I'm Indonesian and I'm planning to get my surgery in SGH too.. Can u tell me.. How much does the surgery cost? And how many days must I spend at the hospital after having the surgery? Hope u reply :) I really need the info.. :)
Gusto ko na rin mag pa OP. Sa ngayon po kasi nsa 47 deg ung curve ng likod ko, i was diagnosed when i was 12 pa with 18 degrees lang. Im 17 now. Nag papa-chiropractor ako, is that good po ba? or hindi? Saan po ba best na hospital for surgery dito sa philippines? I will wait for the replies po. thank you po :)
@MegaGb01 hi! nagpapachiro din ako before pero wala din masyadong nangyari maybe because my spine was matured? I'm not sure. I think it would help a little, but hindi talaga sya didiretso. I would suggest cardinal santos in wilson or St. lukes. :D tc!
hey there, my name is Princess Mariel im 13 years old soon 14 in about 26 days i have scoliosis and i use braze,, we just talked to the doctor a few days ago and he says that my braze aint helping so he is recomending a surgery, when i heard him say that i started tearing up i was so scared, he understod that it was some shocking news for me,,,, and i am still scared, but after reading all the positiv things i do want a surgery instead of using a braze for 3-4 years and my mom is a filipina to
@princessmariel14 sorry to hear that you have to undergo a surgery. But I'll tell, it's not that bad at all. I'm happy that I had the surgery. And I also had wore a brace and never liked it. It didn't help at all.

I am tempted to become overly worried and afraid, but this will not help as she needs strong people around her right now as she is very anxious and scared about the operation..
@666Desolate999 omg!!! I'm so sorry for the late response!!! How was your sister's surgery? I hope everything went well! wow, she's so lucky to have you as her sister and likewise. Don't worry to much, because I'm sure she'll be alright.

@magickho I'm from Singapore :) Singapore has a few hospitals, one of them is SGH, another is NUH, etc! I changed to a private surgeon and that cost S$48,000
and i also have some question sorry if im saying too much but after the surgery can you basically do everything like before except the back pain stuff right like bend, dance, and do sports. thank you reply back
@MrQUIET54321 yes! I could totally do anything that people could normally do! except that you couldn't have great physical contact like football, soccer, and the likes!
Hi grace Im having my surgery on june 14 2011 and its a 60 degree scolyosis i was born with it since birth i bascially got it from my uncle and im very confidence and not bit worrya about it and i thank you for the video cause you look very happy and not worry so ill be alright
@magickho I know a million people prob have already asked you this, but how long did it take you til you could dance/play sports again ? I jerk . I dont want to have surgery then jerk(dance) a month later . Then all the parts fall out :/ . I'm so scared of becoming paralyzed.
@TheRudeAwakeningsz don't be scared! with all the new and high technology today, you shouldn't be worried getting paralyzed. As I can remember, after two months, I'm back to the gym! :D
@magickho Yes ! dont have to worry about that anymore and thats very good . I was just wondering . Because i have to take a break off of youtube just when were getting popular . Ima inbox you my solo vid the day i release it before my surgery .... Your truly a hero. #RememberThat ThankYou. :)
hi grace, i just want to ask when was this operation, what year?and may i know how much was the hospital expenses, i have a niece who needs to be operated of the same case and we are still looking for a good hospital and a good doctor of course, but we want to know the cost so we could prepare for it... Just like you i want my niece back to be ok, please help me through this info. tnx God bless you.
@sheilajethjet Hi! I had my surgery done on January 21, 2008. The hospital expenses was around SGD$40,000. I had it done at Singapore General Hospital.
last time i checked (about a year ago) my curvature was 20 and 10....i wanna do the surgery but my parentss arent convinced and im sick of going to the gym everyday swimming it doesnt seem to help.
@7777meenu I'm feeling great! Yes, I went to Singapore just to have my surgery. I had my surgery in Singapore General Hospital under Dr. Tan Seang Beng. He's a really good doctor and very nice.
@magickho thanks again for replying and for posting this video .....i get it now...is there some risks if i will have my surgery???and is there any foundation here in the philippines that might help me with some financial assistance???(if you know one or heard of one)...
@CossMyNameStephanie Hi Stephanie! It's normal to be scared. I was also at first, but then I kept on thinking that I want the procedure to be done. And I want my back to be better. Think positive! :D
i have to do this operation this summer 27th of june, i'm scared and all, but one thing, could you wash yourself or did the nurses had to wash you? (i don't want nurses to wash me <-- having problems with that) xxx
wow, thankyou so much for making this video. im 14 and im going to have my scoliosis operation in a few months. im so nervous! were you in alot of pain when you woke up from the operation? also, can you lie on your back after the operation? x
@balletshops hi there! When I woke up, they were wheeling me to ICU, and I was really in pain for a few seconds, then they put something and I fell asleep again. I was lying on my back right after the surgery. :D good luck!
Hey, I recently well actually back in september, i had a very similar surgery to yours i had kyphosis which requires the same surgery, basically in the video is that your first time walking? if so u did a heck of a lot better than me :)
@magickho wow you did really well for the first time, it was fine no complications when was your surgery? for my first time i had to start by using a walker. i hope your feeling good :)
hello i'm from cebu and i just want to ask you something, if you are willing to answer...do we need to go to other country just to have surgery???and how much does it cost??????thnx for posting this......
@succigucci23 Hi! If you know a doctor who's really good doing this thing, you don't need to go to other country. It cost us around SGD$40,000. Thanks!
@MsCessLove hi there! yes, I know Bicol :D No, it would not take a year to recover! I was walking in the mall after 2 weeks! I think after 2 months, you'll be all good! back to normal life!
Your video is one of the best one I saw so far, many are out date and unclear about what the patient can do years after their surgery. Is your a unit rod? Thanks for sharing.
@magickho The Unit Rod I referred to is also made with titanium; however without screws. Thank you so much for your replay. It was so good to see you recovered so soon after your surgery and without further complication and able to resume all your normal activity. =D’s -_-*.
thankyou so much for this video this really helped me becuase im 13 and have a 58 degree curviture of the spine and so worried about my operation that i am having, would you recommend having the operation ??
@meginbmth I would definitely recommend it. If you don't have the surgery now, in the long run, it'll hurt so much that you can't even sleep or walk properly. :D Good Luck! Hope everything will turn out well for you.
Hello, My name is Chelsea Kemp. & I went through this same surgery, in November 20th, of 2009. I was in way more pain then you for some reason, The medicine would not get me out of pain. And They made me stand up and walk AND sit up in the chair. I was in soo much pain, and I cried my eyes out for days because It was endless pain. If anyone has questions I don't mind answering. I'm still even in pain till this day. Message my Youtube and I'll get back to you. I'm glad you had a good surgery,
I'm having my surgery on february 7th but i'm going to the hospital one day before to get to know the staff and I hope there will be someone in my age there i can talk to.
How was the surgery to you?? When you sat the first time did it hurt much?? or when you walked, stood and woke up from surgery?? My doctor told me that i will have a lot of pain the first days so........ i'm not happy about it :P It would really help if you anwerd because i'm really scared!! And how fast did you heal?
@izaabeellaa Good for you that your gonna have your surgery. My surgery went really great. The first time I sat isn't bad at all. I just felt really dizzy coz I was lying for 2 days. But it depends on how you'll handle the pain. Just take it slowly. My advise to you is to request morphine or any pain killer before you walk or the first time you'll sit up! Good luck!
hey,I had scoliosis surgery in '06...it was the most painful experience of my life...you look so cheery and able to do so much even after the first day. I was bedridden for 10 days because my lung started to collapse so I had to stay at the hospital longer...how the heck did you do this video without crying hysterically in pain?! the walking around part was the worst part of the day for me... so what exactly did they do in your surgery??
@supergirlx314 hi! I'm sorry to hear that. I just wish that all who undergone this kind of surgery went smoothly like mine. They put 2 titanium rods and 12 screws on my back.
HI. I'm 13 and This video really helped me. I was super afraid for my surgery. My brother had scoliosis and he said that it was horrible, but you know how boys can be. haha But this video really gave me confidence & faith to know that It will be ok. I Wore a back brace for 3 years. But it didn't work. My surgery is set for February 14, 2011. I really don't want to have it, because I will be out of school for a while. But that's ok I'll just take it one step at a time. :)
@gottakickitup24 what a brave girl! I know it's gonna be hard leaving school. But I'm sure everyone will miss you at school. Just do your best recuperating after the surgery and you'll be back in no time! i hope everything will go on smoothly!!! Good luck! :D
@ShazzyCakess i had my surgery 12 days ago, it does not hurt when you are walking. it feels great to stand up but you can feel a bit dizzy. when you stand up, try to stamp on the spot you're standing on (sry for my bad english) and it feels so much better. i had a 52 and a 58 degree curves, and now im almost straight. good luck with ur surgery and when it feels worse, think about that its worth the pain and it will only get better :)
@ShazzyCakess don't be scared girl. It hurt a bit for mine. But it's all on the mindset and how you'll handle it. My advise is to take pain killer before getting up to lessen the pain. But it's not that bad at all. :D
im getting my surgury done on nov 23 im pretty sure of this month .. and im not very nerves i just dont wanna miss alot of school time and stuff , im only 14 .... and december is when theres dances so i wanna go but i just wont dance hahaha !
Hi , How are you now, My son age 15 is also having scoliosis with Cob Angle 60 . He had previous Surgery for scoliosis when he was 5. The surgery was done in Chicago.Now we do not have financial resources to go to States. Waleed is our only Child. We have heard a lot about Prof Beng, and after seeing your Video we are now Convinced To do the Surgery in Singapore. Can you you guide us how to approach Prof Tan Seang Beng. .
wow u didnt walk till ur third day i guess i got lucky then i was out by my 3rd day i think i was up walking the night of the surgery but i was told i was a extremly fast recovery
Hi ,Im Only 18 and i might get surgery also ,can you tell me how did you feel before and after ?...By the way that video made me tear up , lol im a guy
@TheMrjonesOf2010 I'm 15 and I've had that surgery in May of this year and I'm already riding a bike, swimming, walking EVERYWHERE! but it is hard to tie my shoes because I can't bend very well yet, I have better posture and I don't feel the rods in my back and if I don't tell people they never know the difference... It's okay to be nervous to.......
@TheMrjonesOf2010 no probelm...... and if your on facebook look up "Scoliosis Survivors" and that's my other account for just scoliosis patients...... it's where we can talk, give advice..... or ask questions.
@dNm1107 Hi! I was stiffed at first and because it's new what I feel inside. But after sometimes, you'll get used to it. There's a button to push also anytime you feel uncomfortable. :) Good luck!
i may have to get the surgery.. do you have to wear those dorky slippers lol i would be embarrassed and especially when my friends visited me with my face puffy and my stomach all weird.
@Strawberry1139 hahaha! you made me laugh. Of course not! you don't have to wear those slippers. I just forgot to bring mine and I just wear the hospital slippers. :D Good luck to you! You'll be fine.
how much it cost you po for the surgery sa sg? I'm planning too but need to know the cost kung kaya ng family ko mhirap lang kasi kami kaso palala ng tudo yung scolio ko ..meron po ba sa phils?

@bjhay11 hi! yes, madami na din dito sa Philippines na nagpapasurgery. I think it cost us almost mga 1.5m peso. If dito naman sa Manila, around 800k ata. I'm not so sure. Better ask around sa mga ortho :D

Hello, My name is Chelsea Kemp. & I went through this same surgery, in November 20th, of 2009. I was in way more pain then you for some reason, The medicine would not get me out of pain. And They made me stand up and walk AND sit up in the chair. I was in soo much pain, and I cried my eyes out for days because It was endless pain. If anyone has questions I don't mind answering. I'm still even in pain till this day. Message my Youtube and I'll get back to you. I'm glad you had a good surgery,

Hi :D
I'm having my surgery on february 7th but i'm going to the hospital one day before to get to know the staff and I hope there will be someone in my age there i can talk to.
How was the surgery to you?? When you sat the first time did it hurt much?? or when you walked, stood and woke up from surgery?? My doctor told me that i will have a lot of pain the first days so........ i'm not happy about it :P It would really help if you anwerd because i'm really scared!! And how fast did you heal?
izaabeellaa 1 year ago
@izaabeellaa Good for you that your gonna have your surgery. My surgery went really great. The first time I sat isn't bad at all. I just felt really dizzy coz I was lying for 2 days. But it depends on how you'll handle the pain. Just take it slowly. My advise to you is to request morphine or any pain killer before you walk or the first time you'll sit up! Good luck!

hey,I had scoliosis surgery in '06...it was the most painful experience of my life...you look so cheery and able to do so much even after the first day. I was bedridden for 10 days because my lung started to collapse so I had to stay at the hospital longer...how the heck did you do this video without crying hysterically in pain?! the walking around part was the worst part of the day for me... so what exactly did they do in your surgery??

I Wore a back brace for 3 years. But it didn't work. My surgery is set for February 14, 2011. I really don't want to have it, because I will be out of school for a while. But that's ok I'll just take it one step at a time. :)

@ShazzyCakess i had my surgery 12 days ago, it does not hurt when you are walking. it feels great to stand up but you can feel a bit dizzy. when you stand up, try to stamp on the spot you're standing on (sry for my bad english) and it feels so much better. i had a 52 and a 58 degree curves, and now im almost straight. good luck with ur surgery and when it feels worse, think about that its worth the pain and it will only get better :)
Simszimz 1 year ago
@ShazzyCakess don't be scared girl. It hurt a bit for mine. But it's all on the mindset and how you'll handle it. My advise is to take pain killer before getting up to lessen the pain. But it's not that bad at all. :D
