I am in Albany and would LOVE to meet in a group setting. I teach, so the evenings would be good for me also. I think it would benefit us if we could all decide on which night of the week is best. Some of us go to church on Wednesday nights, and that may not be a good night. I, myself, prefer Thursday nights, or even Tuesday, but not Monday, only because I dont like to plan something that early in the week. I know this is only once per month to start out, maybe we could first all decide on a day, then decide on the first, second, third or fourth week of each month.

Thanks for taking it upon yourself to get this ball rolling georgia girl.

Hi Dana, I'm so glad you are interested. Once we get the group going, we can decide on a permanent day of the month to meet (like the 2nd Thursday of every month or whatever).

Tuesday or Thursday evenings would be good for me too. How about everyone else, do you have a preference?

Mia31771 pm'ed me and said she wants to be in on it. We need to give those that work time to get to the meeting. And for some people it's about an hour away. Maybe even more for some?

Thursday evenings are better for me. Any idea for band friendly restaurants?? Maybe we need to figure out where everyone is and try to meet someone in the middle of where we are. Maybe Tifton would be a central location? Just throwing that out, I saw that nip lives in douglas so tifton would be closer for her than albany. What do ya'll think?

Thanks for thinking of me mia, but if I'm the only one that lives in this direction, it wouldn't be fair to everyone who lives closer to Albany. I would love to go, but it is too far for an evening trip. Let me know where everyone decides on. Thanks again.

Tifton is closer for me as well, just trying to figure out where everyone is located so we can pick a central spot.

Tifton is about 45 minutes from me,which is fine. If we do Thursday can it be on the first Thursday or third thursday of the month? I have a meeting at work on the 2nd and 4th thursday of each month.What restaraunt in Tifton is good ?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
