Bellydancing and tubing/port complications

[MissyC 0]

Question regarding vigorous exercise and port complications!!

I recently started bellydancing classes! They are a blast, I'm having a great time. 4 weeks into the class last week, and we learned a new move.

Its basically standing straight with butt tucked in.....keeping head and shoulders very stiff/still and "twisting hips" (not shaking...twisting), hips very vigourously from side to side.

Keeping top part of body still.

This really twists my waist....right about where the port/tubing are placed.

I am wondering if doing this movment continuously and increasingly fast (which is the goal), will cause my port to move/flip or the tubing to kink or tangle or come loose.

I called the dr offices twice. One time the office nurse told me it was fine. The second time I called...(still worrying)...the nurse was supposed to ask the dr and call me back. I never got a return call.

Now my class is tomorrow morning, and I am wondering.

Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this type question?

I don't want to stop the classes....they are soooo fun.

thanks

I would think it would be ok as long as your past the healing stage...

but let us know what you find out!

As long as you are healed up, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. I do some twists with my exercising and it's never bothered me.

still feeling concerned about the exagerated twisting movements but have decided that I'm going to class this morning and will try to call the doc's office later today.

My Dr's wellness group had a belly dancing class a couple of weeks ago. It was given by someone who has lost 130 pounds with the band and belly danced the entire time. I will ask her to post a response.
