Hey Barbara,

I love Zumba. Believe it or not I was in a weight training class my last two semester in college. I was bench pressing 190lbs and leg press at 310lbs, but my knee was getting the best of me. I know what it take to train, but its the over eating of the healthy foods I buy and not preparing my meals and being lazy sometime and stopping at fast food joints. But my knee doctor gave me a referral for swim aerobics which I was told by the manager that its the best for my knee and for weight loss, she hadn't had the surgery and she loss 90lbs during water aerobics. I plan on taking Zumba again I miss it someone on her said she took a swim zumba class...that sounds fun.

Thanks and good luck with your journey

Please, please, please make an appointment to see Donald Waldrep.  I met with four other surgeons before I found him - he is truly the best!

 

Here is a link to his info:  http://www.salsa.md/DrWaldrep.html

 

Good luck!

Topic: RE: First Post: Appt w/ Dr. Hahn in fremont today!

How are all of you doing? I am still waiting for Nancy to call me with a surgery date. I have emailed Dr. Hahn a few times with no response from him. I'm getting frustrated. I am trying to be patient because I know it was the holidays. I went in for my EKG and blood test on 12/3/12 and now it is my understanding that they will call me with a date next?
