What are people's experiences with spinal fusion surgery?

I have FMD as well. I had one spinal surgery and there were no issues. It is important that the anesthesiologist is aware of your FMD so as to not hyperextend your neck when intubating you. That’s how my FMD doctor explained it to be. Also, be sure not to ride roller coasters which can also hyperextend your neck🤪🤣🤣

What is fmd? No surgeon I ever consulted brought that up but they did say that my neck / cervical spine is very messed up and one surgeon was concerned that I would have trouble during the intubation. None of the others thought that though but I do have a reverse curve in my neck apparently. So is that fmd?
