So I joined this forum a while ago, but I just really started reading posts today.
I noticed that there are a number of parents or teenagers that are nervous about upcoming surgery.
I'm 17 and had my surgery just under 7 weeks ago, on June 26th.
My curve was pretty severe...I dont remember the exact curves, but they were about 60 and 70 degrees.
I was SO nervous...and was already stressed out enough in May/June because I was working HARD in my final year of highschool.
Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone who is nervous know that the surgery is TOTALLY worth it.
I have great posture, dont lean to one side, even shoulders/hips, and my right shoulder blade only sticks out a bit more than my left one now.
Without sounding all cocky/confident, I just feel like I LOOK a million times better.
I'm no longer unconfortable thinking that people can notice my even back in tshirts, etc.
And everyone says I look great.
It's only 7 weeks after, and I feel totally fine.
I go out with friends, go shopping, take public transportation alone, I even did a little summer partying
I'm moving away to school in the fall, and I just feel like having this surgery has taken a HUGE weight off my shoulders.
So I could say a million things about my experience/recovery, but that'll take forever haha.
If anyone wanted to know specific things about my experience, feel free to ask me....I'm a great person to ask since I had it so recently!
