Zumba?



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if anyone else has fallen in love with zumba. Im 120lbs down since my RNY. I started zumba- self conscious- standing in the back. I've fallen in love. Its my one hour to forget life and just dance. My goal is to become a zumba certified instructor in 2014. If you have t tried it- I highly recommend it. Hopefully you'll love it and fall in love with this exercise as much as I have!

I'm planning to take a class after surgery. How long did you wait after surgery before starting?

I believe about 6 weeks. I was cleared after 4 but was nervous about the jumping etc so i waited longer. The best thing about zumba is you can go at your own speed and level. If you cant do a move you improvise!! So fun and non judgmental

Zumba is only great when you have a skilled instructor with an amazing playlist - same goes with any other group fitness class such as spinning and kickboxing. I love them all with the right instructor and music (: of course a great energized groups makes a huge difference too!!

New jewel,

zumba is awesome. I go to parties almost every month. Going to one this Saturday! Great hour to let the stress go and enjoy yourself!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
