It depends what type of scoliosis surgery you are having. Mine took four hours, and I had posterior spinal fusion with bone grafting from the hip. If you have anterior spinal fusion, it will most likely take longer, as the surgery is done by entering the front or side of your body. With posterior, they reach your spine by entering your back.

The best way is to ask for your medical doctor a new X-ray to evaluate your scoliosis after surgery, and he can tell you how you are at that moment. You need to be a brand new man before making any undue movements. Perhaps you have to attend physioterapy sessions before playing bowling, which requires that you bend your body.

How Scoliosis affects the body?

With my Scoliosis, I had a hunchback for a while, but having surgery fixed it a bit, but not completely. My back isn't completely straight and kind of have an indent. When doctors are moving things around in your back during surgery, things in the front sort of move, well that's what I've been told.. because one of my front ribs is kind of popping out more then it should... doesn't look so great.. I don't think i will ever wear a bikini in public ever. But not to scare you or anything.. it just depends on how back your Scoliosis is and what there doing during any surgerys you might have. I just havent been so lucky with Scoliosis not affecting my body.
