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

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
