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 heeey :) when i first woke up i was in so much pain. but after that i dont actually remember it being that bad, i just slept all day. and the first time i got up it was kinda hard to walk but i got used to it. i had a morphine button which i could press every 5 minutes and it would help the pain. good luck, hope everything goes well :) x

i heard after surgery you cant do sit ups or crunches. this is a random question but i dont wanna get fat.. are you able to keep your stomach toned still?

For me was the worst experience ever... the pain was just to much

Heyy awesome video! I am getting the surgery in December or November for a 70* curve and a 50* curve, just wondering, was it weird/awkward having a catheter in? loll sorry i am nervous about that haha and how did you have baths?? :S haha I am very modest lol so I am scared about it but I know it will be okay! :)

-Thanks! ~Sam~

[EliseGriffin15]

@PinkCandyBabe01 Thank you :) Yeah thats why i made it, other peoples videos helped me before i had my surgery. Aw thats good and yeah i am glad i had it as well :D x

[bouncingmadlaura96]

i love this video :) your so pretty! How are you doing?

[EliseGriffin15]

@bouncingmadlaura96 aww thank you :) yeah alright now, how about you?

[PamelaJo90]

Do you know if the rods can ever break?

[EliseGriffin15]

@PamelaJo90 they can but theres not much chance. if they do you will have to get them removed.

[PamelaJo90]

Thank you so much! :)

[PamelaJo90]

Hey, this is a random question, but can you still use tanning beds after surgery?

[PamelaJo90]

Hey :) Random question, Did the surgery change your matabelisim? Like did you gain weight afterwards or loose weight? are your eating habits normal like they were before the surgery?

[EliseGriffin15]

@PamelaJo90 heey, nah it didnt but i gained weight from laying in bed for most of the day for 3 months. but after when i went back to school and got better i went back to how i used to be. and about your other question im not too sure because it might effect the scar, otherwise it would be fine :)

[PamelaJo90]

Oh okay, thank you for responding! I get bad back pain every day.:/

You should make a follow up video! :)

[EliseGriffin15]

@PamelaJo90 ohh then you should definatly get surgery, it helps heaps. yeah i should :)

[PamelaJo90]

Thank you!!! :) Yes i like to dance. Did you have bad back pain before surgery? If so, do you get it anymore?

[EliseGriffin15]

aww :) yeah i did, reeally bad! i only get it occasionally now, if im not sitting properly for a long time or if ive been lifting heaving things.
