Ok I tried it and yes I like it. My instructor was awsome. OMG I was really bad at the moves but so what LOL. I can't remember the last time I danced for 1 n 1/2 hrs. I wasn't the best or the worst in the class. Evreyone was having fun and I was super proud of myself when I was finished. Proud is somthing I have not felt for a very long time. I am goin back for sure GO ZUMBA Oh yea I was sore !!!!

What's up with the hernia repair?
I was self pay but my Dr, (whom I Love) told me before surgery that if I had a hernia he would repair it and it was included in my cost. I didnt have one but It was good to know it was covered going in.

Failing my band
Hey I am in the same boat as you. but as every one said we just have to get to restriction. I am having a hard time because I had to have my first fill postponed due to a possible port site infection. I think it would have been fine but my Dr. and I decided to wait an extra month, big investment to be taking any chances. I have had 2 fills so far with very very little restriction. I have also not lost any weight for a while. Hey btrieger how did your 3rd fill go ???

Oh lap-band, how I love thee!
Wow that is so great you go girl. How long before you got good restriction?

My secret fear
Oh Man I am so with you on that one. I have been flying to get my Dr. Appts/ fills and I was so worried. It worked out so far for me but it is tight. When I went on vacation a while back we had to fly on a small aircraft (the airlines are doing this to save money) I almost died when I had to get an seat belt extension. The thing is what kind of aircraft are you on? You can pm me if you want I am in the travel bz. I have lots of knowledge on the subject. This is one of the reasons I got banded. Dont worry to much by your ticker factor I think you will be just fine. pm if you want and try not to worry.

Port Pain real bad
Is the skin red around the port ? when I went for my first fill the Dr. said my port area was red and warm to the touch so after a discusion ( I love my Dr. so far) About my $$$$ invested I am self pay. He sent me home for a 10 day antibiotics. It looks much better but still a bit red. I go back on Friday for a first fill again, by airplane again,. I hope I get it, and all is ok. So I would call your Dr. right away.
