i had the surgery almost 7 months ago and i had a double curve so now i have 2 rods and 22 screws to keep it straight. my surgery was 6 and a half hours long and i was in the hospital for 8 days. most of the time you'll be in the hospital a much shorter time but i had other complications while in the hospital. not with my back though! that part went great.
