Am 32 years old with scoliosis and struggling with weight gain, i look like a 12 year old. can i still have the corrective surgey?

Scoliosis: can be corrected at any age, the younger the better. As your doctor to refer you to a surgeon who will tell you options for surgery. When more mobile exercise can be easier and that can help w/weight. Ask doc about a low carb food plan. Peace and good health.
