Hi Guys.I am a 21 yr old Secondary School teacher from New Zealand. I teach Dance and Drama, and have always danced even though it often made me miserable. I found out about the gastric banding surgery when I was 18, but finally made the decision to go for it this year (2010). I was banded on July 29th. On the pre-op diet (and 3 days of post op) I am 7 kgs down.. I think that's 15 pounds. I have big goals for myself, in that I want to get down to 60kgs (133-135pounds) then start sculpting my body for dancing. My first goal is to lose enough weight before summer (winter in USA) to go to Dance classes with confidence through my holiday break and build my technique back up (I've lost a lot of it, because I'm too big to go to classes now). Have to admit that now, just a few days post-op, it's very very hard. I am excited for this immediate post-op stage to finish!Thanks for reading :)
