X-stop and/or Foraminotomy Back Surgery

Hi,
I'm new here and I would like to hear from anyone who has had this type of sugery. I am wondering if this is the right way to go. I have been going to pain management for 3 years, for pinched nerve, sure would like to fix it once and for all. Today my surgeon told me I have severe scoliosis along with the pinched nerve. Once he sees what it looks like it will either be the X-stop, foraminotomy or both.
I haven't made up my mind yet about the surgery. I have until the 29th to back out.
Need feedback ASAP.
Thanks
