Surgery

[whitney81180]

Has anyone ever heard of there being a time when it is to late for surgery?

I used other forums relating to revision surgery. One person there, after hearing my story(breathing problems), told me not too wait too long as she had. She had breathing problems and she was treated with inhalers. By the time anyone considered her scoliosis her lungs were too damaged to withstand the anesthesia. She now needs oxygen 24/7.

Hi Becky...

I have come across a few people who had too much loss of pulmonary function and/or too much osteoporosis to be good surgical candidates.
