    Thanks for the updates Kara. I'm actually surprised your dr. gave you a thoroplasty since your largest curve was only in the low 50's. My double curves were both in their mid - to -large 50's and my doctor would not do the thoroplasty. He said it is too painful and would make the recovery alot worse. I guess at 18 years old you didn't probably feel as much pain as us older folks.

    Thanks for the update.
