A few of us are planning on meeting up that day - lets get together and chat!!!

Amy

Thanks Jeannie! I hope there are others who want to participate, but if not, we'll be lapband buddies!

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.

By the way, my name is Dana.

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?

We also need to decide where to meet. So, what is your favorite Band Friendly restaurant?

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.

Actually, Tifton is closer for me too. How long of a drive is Tifton from douglas? How long for those in Albany?

Tifton is only 45-50 minutes for me, let me know what everyone decides.

Tifton is about 30 minutes from me and Albany is closer to an hour away.

Jeannie and Dana, what about you guys? How far away is Tifton for you?

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 ?

We probably want to steer clear of buffets and fast food, right? I was thinking we need to meet somewhere where we can order an appetizer or something small. I haven't been to a buffet since being banded.

Let's see, Tifton has............ Cracker Barrel, Applebee's, Longhorn, Red Lobster, Tokyo (Japaneese), and all the regular fast food joints and buffet places. Am I leaving anything good out? I'm drawing a blank....

The 1st or 3rd Thursday of the month is good for me, what about the rest of you?
