    Kyphosis 1 year 7 month; checking in!

    Hi all, this is David, I have a somewhat 'famous' video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qMo_8uk7vw. I am 24 years old now.

    I had surgery with Dr. Boachie April 27, 2011 to correct kyhosis. Just wanted to say it was completely successful, and I feel great. I am an air traffic control trainee at New York Center and I have a full FAA medical clearance. I have no restirctions. I work out daily. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to private message me. Good luck to all and hang in there
