Azalea,
I thought Linda's post was right on the money. It's tough to face this surgery if you aren't motivated by pain and/or limitation. You are very young and time is on your side if you truly can't do it yet. If your thoracic curve is progressing at a steady rate, though, you will most likely have to deal with it at some point...you don't want to run into breathing problems. It took me almost two years to face up to the surgery...in my case, I NEEDED that much time to face it, even though the wait is very tough.
Best wishes!
