Scoliosis Surgery Here in the Philippines
Hi! I’m looking for people who have undergone scoliosis surgery here in the Philippines.
For context, I’m female, 21 years old, and my curve is currently around 70+ degrees. I’m considering surgery na rin, but I want to hear actual experiences from people who went through it here in the PH.
I would really appreciate any insights. You can skip any questions na hindi kayo comfortable sagutin.
• Saang hospital kayo nagpa-surgery?
• Before surgery, did you try or consider other options like therapy, braces, or other procedures?
• Kumusta yung pain after surgery? And how is the pain now?
• Ilang days or weeks kayo na-confine sa hospital?
• Gaano katagal bago kayo nakalakad comfortably ulit?
• Around how much po yung overall cost? How much should I prepare financially?
• Confident po ba kayo sa doctors/surgeons here in the Philippines?
• Kumusta na po yung scar niyo ngayon?
• Kumusta yung movement or flexibility ng likod niyo after surgery?
• If okay lang po itanong, ilang degrees yung scoliosis niyo before and after surgery?
• Looking back, worth it po ba yung surgery for you, especially considering possible limitations or adjustments with titanium implants?
Thank you so much in advance. I’m trying to prepare myself mentally, physically, and financially. Ang hirap lang din kasi makahanap ng actual scoliosis surgery experiences here in the Philippines, so any advice or shared experience would mean a lot.
