text: has anyone here had an back operation called scilosis? its a operation involving some rods being put into the back to keep thier spine straight. there is not a operation called that, it's just called back surgery, but someone can get scoliosis. i had a 49 degree curve in my back, and i got surgery which consisted of two 11 inch rods and 16 2 inch screws. now my curve is down to 11 degrees, and i no longer lean to my left! i had my surgery done 5 years ago. if you met today you would never guess that i had scoliosis unless i told you. but there are few restrictions like someone was saying. i am unable to go on roller coasters, or anything similar that would put alot of force upon my back.
