hip hop classes



Recommended Posts

I go in Tuesday for surgery and always have been very active for my weight which surprises my surgeon and my pcp and I am a quick healer as well. I am registered for a hip hop class this year at my daughters dance school (finally brave enough) and I am hearing roughly 2-3 weeks before cardio which is all the dance class really is. Anyway class starts Wednesday I know their is no way the day after surgery I well be up for dancing and so does the teacher. I told her two to three weeks after surgery and she's okay with that. I am going to ask the surgeon at the hospital q&a the morning of surgery but want to get a feel from other patients. When did you start your cardio?

I was in a lot of pain after surgery. Walking on a treadmill was very hard. I took it slow, but I had a hard time. You may b one of the lucky ones up and walking right after. Best Wishes! I have no regrets!!

Yeah my surgeon requires all patients to be up and attempting to walk two hours after surgery and fully up and walking after four hours. Then for ten mins every hour you are awake you lap the floor and the nurses are on you about getting up. He is strict and that's one of the reasons I wanted him for my surgery. Another reason ifs he holds you accountable and I need that kind of person pushing me, testing my buttons and boundaries.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
