Is anybody a member of Curves? How long did you have to wait to to go back after being banded? Are there any machines in which you can't do right away.

Thanks for the input.

I'm pretty much in a small town but I figure the Curves here is fairly new so it should be okay, I'm guessing. I just need to get over there!!!

They upgraded our tags to store information when we travel from enter to center, but the places I've visited only have only 8 machines. I took a sheet to my surgeon detailing all of the machines with pictures and he checked off the ones I can use.

I've been a Curve's member for 3.5 years. I love it! I was banded four months ago. I waited 11 days before going back and I skipped the squat machine and the crunch machine for about a month after that. I have lost 36 inches since my surgery so I must be doing something correctly. I go at least four times a week and sometimes 5 or 6. If you go often you get to know the coaches and other members you are working out with and we are great cheerleaders for each other. I am reasonably sure that had I not been a Curve's member before my surgery I would probably have weighed at least 100 lbs more.

I am excited about our Curves getting the new "technology" in the next few months. I am glad to hear that it really works.

I've been to several different Curves around the country while traveling and they do vary a lot in the equipment available, friendliness of the staff, etc. but it is a great way to start the day before a long car drive.
