Bellydancing and tubing/port complications



Recommended Posts

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

missy

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 inner goddess calls!!! lol:Banane20:

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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
