I bought beginners Zumba. When is it ok to try it after surgery? How long did you stay in the hospital?

i cant wait to do zumba....my surgeons office ok'ed me to do all excersizes and im 4 weeks post op

My Dr said just to walk til 6 weeks out. By 6 weeks you should be completely healed inside. I've always wanted to do Zumba, but I feel really tired now, I think because I'm not getting as much nutrition as I should so I dont know how I could keep up. I'm 4 weeks out today so hopefully in 2 weeks I'll be ready for a beginners class :)

I was told 6 weeks to allow your abdomen to heal. If you like zumba you should try the bollywood workout too. It works different muscle groups and is so much fun!

I LOVE Zumba and can't wait to start again after my surgery!

It's te best exercise because your having so much fun, you don't feel like your exercising.

Whats bollywood? Where can I get it?

I did Zumba a couple of years back and I was really successful with weightloss. In one month I dropped almost 15 pounds w/o really dieting!

I can't wait to get back into the gym after WLS in July. I truly miss it.

Whats bollywood? Where can I get it?

Bollywood is Hollywood for India. Usually in "Bollywood" movies theres all kinds of dancing and singing. The dancing is fast paced and really fun. I found a bunch of videos online and some gyms even have classes now, but those are hard to find and there aren't any in my area.

Ask your doc when an appropriate time to start is. People LOVE zumba and get addicted to it (rhythm things are not my thing) but you'll do so great and tone up some of the necessities. Good luck!

Try AQUA ZUMBA! It is easy on joints and until you learn the moves, just keeping the heart pumping by moving.....you would be amazed at the awesome FUN workout you get!

Although I have been out for a year and a half, I Zumba about 4-5 times a week I love it. I bought the Zumba (Beto Perez) latest version about three weeks ago and love it. But before then I was in a recreation center class for over a month. It was $5 a class and my husband added that up and told me to buy it. I think he just wanted me home, lolololol. So, while he's on Xbox360, I'm Zumba'g in another room. He has Zumba'd with me too. It's FUN. Try it.

It's 7 DVDs that came in the box. I ordered it through Amazon and paid 72.00.

You were about where I started with my weight loss...I was 338 when I made the decision...I was 318 wehn I

went in for my Nuse talk and my surgery is June 25, 2012...May I ask how quickly you lost 100lbs?

I know I'll have skin issues and I'm ok with that, I'll deal with that later but so ready to get rid of at least a

100 before Christmas...is thei duable exercising and eating right?

Hello Looking Head

Everyone's body is different, but it took me about a year. The first three months were fast and then a stall. It picked back up and I began losing again. Weight gain here and there, because I have lower extremity edema, which is Water weight. I had good and bad days, but it worked out. My edema is really bad; I had water gain in 24hours that was a jump of about 20lbs. I have to take Lasix and potassium @ day and wear compression stockings all day. Don't worry too much, you'll be just fine. Always comeback to the boards for support. I do.

I was told 6 weeks before any serious exercise, pool, treadmill! Walking only before that!

I would guess 4 - 6 weeks - ask your doctor and go with his/her advice. I love ZUMBA!
