I wore the band 24/7 including sleep time -- my band told me how efficient my sleep was and that was/is important to losing weight. If you are not resting you will not lose weight. It doesn't really effect the data just give you a bit more.

I initially and continued to wear it 24/7 and connected it daily but after I got used to it I only connected it when the battery wore down. I never owned the watch band that showed you instantly. But after you start to learn your body you will know whether or not you did our calorie burn. Good luck

I have UHC and had no problem with approval. I had my diet history for the past 10-15 years of ups and downs in weight loss. My BMI was over 40 and I had no co-condiitons. I was approved first time out. I needed to do nothing else for the insurance company . However, I had to do lots for the doctor (ie sleep study, psychologist etc.) I first saw my doctor on September 14 2008 and had the surgery on November 6th 2008.

I am a 49 year old mother of two teenagers and I am located in Eastlake ohio and looking for same -- I am still on my original weight loss journey and having some difficulty staying focused. Have had 3 fills to date. Still getting hungry when I shouldn't. Haven't worked out in about 2 months -- first from a surgery that I had (not lapband) and my daughters karate schedule. Now that is done my goal is to get started again and focused. I know what it is like to need the push and have the accountability to someone to stay focused.

Seeking a buddy for workouts and just general support. I live in Willoughby Ohio area. I have a membership to Ballys and just looking for someone to workout with -- kinda boring to go there by myself.

Not sure if this has happened to anyone -- I believe that there is something stuck in pouch but not in band -- it keeps trying to go down but it won't -- it won't come up either. Not sliming either. Not sure what to do -- it isn't painful but it is uncomfortable. Not hungry either (a plus) Thanks

That is exactly like the "GoWearFit" band that I have. I have been using it for about 2 months. In fact that is what the Biggest Loser people use. It is the same manufacuter Body Media but it costs more. A little more web stuff but not sure if it is worth the additional cost. Mine was 150 for the band and 7.00 per month for online support.

1:00 then?

works for me !! Time??

Pick the starbucks and time and I will be there

I am looking for someone to work out with -- I have lots of stuff here at the house elliptical and recumbent bike small hand weights wii and wii fit plus exercise dvd's but losing motivation a bit. Can we talk?

Always a subject that no one wants to talk about but here goes...I was alway regular but now everything seems to be moving way slower and way more difficult to move out. I have tried softners and they sort of work but it still feels like a brick. I drink 40-70 oz of Water but doesn't seem to help. Since this diet is more Protein it most likely is because that has a natural way of blocking everything up. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and what they are doing to help minimized the effect.
