@fixit4ultd Good luck to your son :) I was able to walk within a few days and after I came home I built my trips out up over a few weeks - certainly after 3-4 weeks I felt completely normal again and was able to carry out day to day trips just like usual... My hospital told me that I shouldn't go on rollercoasters or do anything that could jar or impact my back for about a year but after that I was doing all the things that I enjoyed before my surgery - hope this helps - all the best - Pxx

Hey, Paige here, just wanted you to know that it is a year since my operation today and this afternoon, I was outside - bouncing on my trampoline :) Good luck to anyone going through scoliosis now and needs an operation - I'm so thankful that I had mine. Pxx

[clpzx]

@molera2 No I didn't feel ill at all really. I didn't have much of an appetite though. Px

Thanks for making this video. A friend of mine is going to have the operation, and it's reassuring to see how much better she'll feel afterwards.

@thessalonian71 Your welcome, it really wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be and I'm so pleased I had it. My love to you and your friend. Px

I had a 107 degree curve, and after surgery it became 35 degrees. Please check out my channel and my scoliosis video. =D

I've had this surgery mine was a 95 degree curve and if I didn't have the surgery soon I could've died because my spine was laying on my lung.(: good luck to anyone having the surgery.

Hey, guess who this is! (Mei) It doesn't really matter now, by just some rebuttal to a certain someone who posted on here (you know who).

So what? They did operate and she has posted this video to help OTHERS and give then reassurance, not for know-it-alls to talk about serious surgery that doesn't concern them! I'm one of her closest friends and I saw how hard it was for her and I know it will be hard for others. She made a brave decision that was best for her and they were happy to operate!
