Shelley,
Thank you for responding. That is very encouraging news. So you haven't had any problems with your curve getting worse then after the correction or had to have any kind of revision surgeries?
My main curve is thoracic but I was told I also have compensatory curves in the upper and lower spine. The lower curve makes my hip really prominent and I would love to get rid of that as it keeps getting worse. The surgeon I did see - although he won't be doing surgery as I didn't feel comfortable with him - but he said this curve would go away on its own once the main throacic curve was fixed. I would probably be fused similar to you - maybe a little less.
