I would make an excellent leader because I am compassionate, friendly, honest, open, encouraging, and I am available to lead a group. Additionally I have experienced morbid obesity and I know what it feels like to be overweight and hopeless. I also know what it feels like to be given hope and an excellent tool of weight loss surgery to help me on my journey to health and fitness.

I had the lap band and later had to have it revised to the sleeve. I have lost over 80 pounds. My weight loss has been slow compared to others who have had the surgery but it has been progressive.

Currently there is no active weight loss surgery support group in my area. I attend meeting in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia when my schedule permits. I was very active in the Decatur, Georgia group for a while (Steering Committee and hospital support for WLS patients) but had to step down due to health issues.

Becoming a Local Support Group Leader will not only allow me to be of support to other WLS patients in my area but would provide me the continued support I need as well.

Excitingly Awaiting your response.

@@Alex Brecher were we to send "resumes" about leading a group to you? If so, I'M IN!!!

I'd love to have one that's closer to me to go regularly...

Live in Gwinnett, central for North GA, would love to have a veterans'/ regain/ revision group, for folks > 1 year out. What a great support it would be! Anybody else?

Good Morning Alex,

I would love to start a group as well. Starting a support group in my home town would be preferable but I am willing to attend a group until I can start one in Hampton, GA.

I fit in with most of the above categories. I work in Atlanta so if you are thinking about starting a group that would be convenient to me, I am willing to be of any support that I can.

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and there are no groups here except my surgeons one hour a month which isn't near enough. I would love to have one closer since I'm struggling with regain.

I too would like one in the Henry County area. If I wasnt to attend a goup, I drive to Johns Creek where I had my surgery.

I would love to have a group closer to where I live .... I'm in Henry County GA ... I see a few of the other posters live nearby - that is exciting! Always nice to have someone to talk to who "GETS IT" !

And I've been thinking of going to the group that my surgeon's office offers ... but it's kinda far from home ...

I am interested in talking face to face with people ... Don't get me wrong ... LOVE this forum ...

If there is anything I can do to help the process .... Let me know!

:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
