Curves - Question

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone is using curves work out place for women... if so how early after surgery did you start going??? I will be 2 months out on 10/3/04, yes I am going to call my doctor to make sure its ok... I was just wondering about everyone else. Debra

HI Debra, I am also going to start at Curves. My surgeons office said to wait til I was 8 weeks out before doing any exersizing at Curves. They also told me to make sure that the people at Curves know that I am a gastric by pass patient and how far out I am so that they structure my exersize routine accordingly. Good luck ... Sondra

Just talked to my dr. office and he won't release me till I go for my 3 month check up... I am so ready to work out more than I am..... Guess I will have to wait... bummer

I don't know much about curves but I was surprised that you both have to wait so long to get exercising! My surgeon said I could go the day after surgery if I felt up to it (needless to say, I didn't )!!!! Good luck to both of you!!

I have been working out with a dvd doing cardio and body sculpting with tension bands but he told me today NO MORE... walking only... so I am going back to just walking... I really enjoy it... the working out and walking... the working out more so.... One more month

I had surgery on Aug. 17th and I've already signed up, but my pc told me to wait till Oct. 1st. So I will start Friday. I hope I like it because I'm signed up for a while. Raoulene

Hi, I was going to Curves pre-op and absolutely loved it! I am only 5 weeks out and won't see my Do****il October 8th. I am hoping that he'll release me then, becuase I do want to get back to my workouts. The nice thing about Curves is that if a particular station is too hard for you (i.e. - you might not be able to work the abs this early), they will show you a modification, or you can skip the station all together. They really do try to accomodate you as best they can. Good luck all! Jen

I had my surgery August 30th,I joined Curves today.My surgeon just said to take it easy at first.I felt pretty good after the workout.I think this is something I can stick with.

what kind of equiptment do they have at curves? is there a treadmill? how much does it cost to join and what about monthly fees??
