It was important to me before my surgery and during the early months of recovery to know that there are people whose surgery not only stopped the curve progression, but improved their posture and self confidence, AND allowed them to still have an active life of sports, dancing, etc. I know that there are many out there with successful surgeries who no longer post on the forum. Think positively.
