Hi.
My sister had it done about 8 years ago.
It was a long surgery for about 8 hours. BH her recovery was great and all was successful.
She was out of hospital after 7 days bh!! had to stay in bed most of the day for a good few weeks after and be careful how she moved but now all back to normal.
If you are still a growing person in height after surgery you will stop growing because they usually remove a disc from the spine which helps height growth i believe.
BH she has had no trouble since. Lives a normal life. Most airports she doesnt even beep in the scanner even with the two rods and brackets down her spine.
She became taller straight after surgery from having a straight spine and now always sits bolt upright.
Good luck with it all
