Lost in Oz

Hi everyoneI am Australian and searching for chat sites where I can talk to people who have had a sleeve gastrectomy. I got what done in August 09 after watching two GF's struggle with the lap banding. My surgeon was great, very informative, but I guess part of the problem is - if you don't know what to ask, how do you know to ask it?So now I am thinner (35kgs and counting) with loads more questions than answers. I want to know if the amount I can eat is normal etc etc (too much to actually list here).Everyone thinks I am radical for having this surgery (very new in Oz) and the fact that it is permanent. Well know thyself I say. I didn't get to have a BMI of 57 by being physical and motivated. If I had the band I would cheat it and with the sleeve it is simple - you can't.Sorry for rambling - just wondering if there is anyone out there?

Great way to start a new year/life. I think my surgeon used what he cut out of me as a bathing cap.
