If I have a spine fusion in the lower part of my back, will I still be able to bend over?

Yes, as long as you don't have problems with your hips. The joints of your lower back don't actually move very much when you bend. Your hips do most of the movement of bending forward. Be sure to keep your back in safe alignment whenever you bend or lift.
