: Hi am new to this board. :) I'd like to find anyone with the same as I have. I have severe scoliosis, am 40 years old, the dr. is going to do surgery in January, posterior and anterior? Going in from side and then in through back. Ugh. Am scared. Please write me, any info would be great. Also anyone that has had this done.
: gentle hugs to all

My eleven year old daughter has severe scoliosis and is scheduled to have the same procedures you have indicatied, frontal discetomy, followed by posterior rod placement. She is 50 pounds and will have the operations split. Good luck to you. Keep in touch.
