It's been a week and I'm basically regretting surgery. Dance is a huge part of my life . From teaching Zumba at gym, performing at events, and aeriel hoop pole tricks dancing is my income. I got a tummy tuck to increase my opportunities due to previous costume restrictions. Now I think I just set myself even further back not only is my body not up to par but I can't dance.
